Cameron Suspension Bridge, Bicycle bridge in Cameron, Arizona, United States.
Description
Cameron Suspension Bridge stretches about 680 feet across the Little Colorado River using steel cables and wooden decking for cyclists and pedestrians. The structure appears slender and open, with cables carrying the main load above the river.
History
The bridge was built in 1911 by the Midland Bridge Company under Bureau of Indian Affairs supervision. It was the longest suspension span west of the Mississippi River at that time.
Culture
The bridge links separate areas of Navajo territory and allows communities to travel across their traditional lands near the Grand Canyon. Today, it remains a physical connection that matters deeply to local residents.
Practical
The bridge is accessible year-round and offers good starting points at both ends for exploring the surrounding area. A visit combines well with a stop at the nearby Cameron Trading Post to see local goods and crafts.
Did you know?
Today the structure carries a natural gas pipeline, making it serve a dual purpose most visitors do not realize. It ranks among only two suspension bridges still standing across the entire state.
