Navajo Bridge
Northeastern, Arizona

Stats
470 feet high / 143 meters
725 foot span / 221 meter

State of the art when built in 1929.
The bridge crosses the Colorado River.
As traffic and vehicles got heavier, a new bridge was required. Built in 1995, the state decided to keep the old bridge close to new.

The 1929 marvel of engineering is now a walking bridge.

The rare California Condors frequently roost on the steel beams. This afternoon 4 flew very near us. I snapped one image I really like, but iTunes gets cranky when I try to move images from my computer to my phone.
