Red Rock Bridge, Railway bridge at Topock, Arizona.
The Red Rock Bridge spans 990 feet across the Colorado River with steel cantilever through-truss construction and reaches 41 feet above the water level.
Built in 1890 by the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad, the bridge replaced an earlier wooden structure that had been repeatedly damaged by spring floods.
The bridge gained recognition through its appearance in the opening credits of the 1969 film Easy Rider with Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda.
The structure served as a railroad crossing until 1945, then converted for automobile use on Route 66 until 1966, before its dismantling in 1976.
The bridge construction took only eighty days to complete and used 750 tons of steel, making it the largest cantilever bridge in the United States.
