Description

Once part of the National Old Trails Highway, and later Route 66, it's construction allowed vehicles to pass over Padre Canyon whose steep canyon walls were a major transportation obstacle on the relatively flat Arizona high desert since the days of the Winona-Flagstaff Road. The bridge, classified as a Luten Bridge, was enginereed by Daniel B. Luten and built by the Topeka Bridge and Iron Co. in 1914 for a total cost of $7,900. On September 30, 1988 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
