Navajo Bridge
The Historic Navajo Bridge in Marble Canyon, AZ is a significant landmark that represents the pioneering spirit of early settlers in the region. Built in 1929, it was the highest steel arch bridge in the world at the time and provided a safer and more reliable means of crossing the Colorado River between Utah and Arizona. Today, the historic bridge serves as a pedestrian bridge, offering visitors a breathtaking view of the river below.
In response to the growing need for a stronger and wider bridge, a new Navajo Bridge was constructed downstream from the historic one in 1995. The new bridge, with improved approaches on each side, accommodates larger vehicles and ensures pedestrian safety. The historic bridge remains as a testament to the area's rich history and provides a unique experience for visitors to marvel at the engineering feat and enjoy the stunning scenery of the Colorado River.
