Nolan River Bridge is a single track girder bridge located in Blum, Texas. The bridge was constructed in stages between 1899 and 1903 to replace an earlier bridge. The bridge contains six spans between the abutments and five supporting limestone piers. The bridge was designed to carry a live load equal to two 139-ton steam locomotives. Freight and passenger trains used the bridge until 1952.

It was added to the National Register in December 4, 2012.
