A Steel Guardian Of The Mother Road

Originally constructed in 1933, the Rio Puerco Bridge stands guard over this section of Historic Route 66 in New Mexico. It is no longer accessible by automobile but I-40 is a mere stone's throw away and certainly a safer method of crossing the river.
The Rio Puerco Bridge is a Parker Through Truss style bridge and was fabricated by the Kansas City Structural Steel Company. The bridge is 250 feet in length, making it one of the longest bridges of it's type in New Mexico.

These photos were shot on January 12, 2019.

I-40 as seen from the Rio Puerco Bridge. Note the detailed graffiti that reads "Eager". Someone put a lot of effort into that and it's only visible from this vantage point on the Rio Puerco Bridge.
