John Dunn Bridge, Steel bridge in Arroyo Hondo, New Mexico.
The John Dunn Bridge stretches across the Rio Grande near the confluence of the Rio Hondo, connecting both sides of the river with its steel truss structure.
John Dunn constructed this bridge in 1908 to transport travelers and mail into Taos, operating it as a toll facility charging one dollar per person.
The bridge location serves as a meeting point for different communities in northern New Mexico, integrating Native American and Spanish colonial influences of the region.
Located three miles west of Arroyo Hondo on a gravel road, the bridge provides access to hiking trails, fishing spots, and kayaking areas along the Rio Grande.
An eighteen-mile section of the Rio Grande, starting from the John Dunn Bridge to Taos Junction Bridge, forms the Taos Box for river navigation.
