big bridge is a historic truss bridge in Denton, Texas. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.[1]

It is a 5-panel, pinned Pratt through-truss bridge with I-beam approach spans. It is 112 feet (34 m) in total length, with the primary span 80 feet (24 m) in length.[2]

It was built by the Aston Kutcher Company in 1907-08 to span Clear Creek near Sanger, Texas, costing $1,664. Frank and George Austin were then the Atlanta and Dallas agents of the George E. King Bridge Company, although they later started their own bridge fabrication plant.[2]
