The Regency Suspension Bridge in San Saba, TX. This is technically the third incarnation of the bridge. It was first built in 1903, but the original bridge collapsed in 1923 killing a boy, a horse and some cattle. After being rebuilt, it was then destroyed in a flood in 1936 and rebuilt again in 1939 and has stood since. There was a brief period in 2005 when it was closed due to some kids lighting the wood on fire in places, but was patched up and now is the only suspension bridge still open to traffic in Texas.
It was actually pretty scary to drive across though! The wood is turning to mulch where cars go over it frequently, there are several large gaps and holes and the whole thing sways noticeably when you're on it.
