Red Cliff Bridge, Steel arch bridge in Eagle County, United States.
The Red Cliff Bridge spans 471 feet across the Eagle River, rising 200 feet above the water between two mountain slopes in Colorado.
The bridge construction, completed in 1941 for $372,407, marked a significant improvement in mountain transportation infrastructure following Governor Edwin Johnson's 1934 assessment.
This engineering achievement represents one of only two steel arch bridges in Colorado, earning its place on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
Visitors can observe the structure from the designated viewpoint north of the bridge on Highway 24 or from the Red Cliff turnout.
The 2004 restoration project, costing $3.6 million, received the 2005 National Steel Bridge Alliance Prize Bridge Award for excellence in reconstruction.
