History

Rosita's Bridge is one of two original bridges designed by Robert H.H. Hugman for the River Walk. The bridge was built in 1939 by the Works Progress Administration.[1] Rosita Fernández, a noted Tejano singer, would commonly perform at the Arneson River Theater, near the bridge. As a part of her entrance onstage, she would cross the bridge. The bridge soon became known for her performances. The city renamed the bridge in 1992 in her honor.[2][3][4]
