Navajo Bridge


Along the hundreds of miles of the Colorado River in Northern Arizona, there are only four places the river can be crossed, two are footbridges at the bottom the Grand Canyon. One is the bridge at Hoover dam (technically two places now because you can drive over the dam) and this one; Navajo Bridge. If you are going to get technical there are two bridges here also. The old bridge is now confined to foot traffic and the new bridge, the one above, is the one used by cars. I have traveled over this bridge hundreds of times driving back and forth to Utah. The old bridge (not shown) was built in 1927-29. The new bridge shown above, was completed in 1995. One notable event was seeing the California Condors that roost on the new bridge.
