The first bridge to span Bayou Texar was a wooden span constructed in [[1911]] at a cost of $3,700. The wooden bridge was 1,050 feet long and 20 feet wide.<ref>Pensacola Historical Society. ''Pensacola in Vintage Postcards''. Arcadia, 2005.</ref>
At some point, the wooden bridge was replaced with a concrete bridge which connected [[Gadsden Street]] on the west bank to [[Cervantes Street]] on the east bank. Prior to the bridge approach, traffic transitioned from Cervantes to Gadsden between [[15th Avenue|15th]] and [[16th Avenue]]s, through what is now [[Andalusia Square]]<ref>[[:Image:CervantesSt1954.jpg|Image of Cervantes-to-Gadsden transition]]</ref>.
