Navajo Bridges, Steel arch bridge complex near Marble Canyon, USA

Two parallel bridges span across the Colorado River at a height of 467 feet, connecting northern Arizona with southern Utah.

The original bridge, completed in 1929, replaced Lee's Ferry service that had operated since 1873 for crossing the Colorado River.

The bridges serve as a testament to transportation evolution, connecting Native American territories while providing access to Grand Canyon National Park.

Visitors can park at the interpretive center near Highway 89A to walk across the original bridge and photograph the Colorado River below.

The 1929 structure remains open for pedestrians while its 1995 twin carries vehicular traffic, making this the only twin-span crossing in the region.

Location: Coconino County

Made from material: steel
