Old Trails Bridge, Through arch bridge across Colorado River between San Bernardino County, California and Mohave County, United States.
The Old Trails Bridge spans 800 feet over the Colorado River with a central steel arch section measuring 600 feet in length.
Constructed in 1914 and remodeled in 1928, this bridge served as a vital crossing point on U.S. Route 66 until its conversion to a pipeline structure in 1947.
The bridge appears in significant American films, including The Grapes of Wrath, representing the westward migration during the Great Depression era.
Visitors can access viewing points of the bridge from Interstate 40 at the Park Moabi exit, the last California exit when traveling eastbound.
At the time of construction, this 360-ton structure held the record as the longest arched bridge in America, built using an innovative cantilever method.
