Hassayampa Bridge

Hassayampa Bridge is a road bridge built in 1929 across the Hassayampa River in Maricopa County. It has seven concrete spans, each roughly 45 feet long, and carries vehicle traffic on an asphalt-over-concrete deck.

The bridge was constructed in 1929 by the firm Strong and Grant from Springville, Utah. It replaced an earlier timber crossing from 1915 that had originally served this river passage.

The structure displays design elements typical of the 1920s, with its four-rib concrete construction and molded concrete railings. These details reflect engineering methods that were common across the United States during that era.

The bridge is located on Old U.S. Highway Route 80 and is accessible to regular vehicle traffic. Since it is a historic structure on a roadway, visitors should drive carefully and be aware of traffic conditions.

This crossing served as a critical point on Arizona's most traveled highway at the time and helped eliminate a major barrier to regional commerce. Its location on this historic route made it an important hub for the region's economic growth.
