The State Highway 3-A Bridge at Plum Creek, also known as the US90-US183 Bridge at Plum Creek, is located just northwest of the US183 junction with IH10 near the town of Luling.

It was built by Williams, Grant, et al., Virginia Bridge & Iron Company, and was completed in 1931.

Although it is most commonly associated with US90 and US183 it was originally constructed and dedicated as part TX3-A. It took the US highway designations when many of our state highways became part of the US highway system.

The bridge was list as an Historic Structure (#96001107) on October 10, 1996.

This Terraserver image shows the bridge in active use in 1995.
