The McKee Street Bridge carries McKee Street across the Buffalo Bayou in Houston, Texas. Built in 1932, the three-span reinforced concrete girder bridge connects the Second and Fifth Ward areas, northeast of downtown Houston. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 3, 2002. ==Description== The 290-foot continuous girder bridge is divided into two 85 foot spans and a center 120 foot span. The center span crosses the entire central channel of the Buffalo Bayou. The bridge provides 42 feet of vertical clearance. As it is located between two bends in the bayou and crosses it at an angle, the design also allows for 100 feet of horizontal clearance to accommodate the small craft traveling the bayou at the time it was built. The road surface atop the concrete deck is two and one-half inch brick on a one inch sand cushion. The concrete girders are curved in a way that is aesthetically pleasing and reveals the distribution of the bridge's load on the girders. The bridge was painted aquamarine, purple and lavender by a local artist in 1985.〔 A (partial version ) for HTTP access is also available.〕
