Completed in 1938, the Rainbow Bridge is the tallest bridge on the Gulf Coast. It rises to a height of a 20-story building and clears the river by 177 feet. The newer companion bridge, the Veterans Memorial Bridge to the east, has 143 feet of navigational clearance, and its claim to fame is that it is the only cable-stayed bridge built on a Texas Highway
