Navajo Bridge

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : Get an aerial view of one of America's tallest bridges, compliments of contributor and pilot Luiz Gerbase. The Navajo Bridge in the Southwestern USA state of Arizona is actually two separate spans over the Colorado River. The original bridge opened in 1929 and is 250 meters long (834 ft.). The second span, which is 23 meters (75 ft.) longer, opened in 1995 and now handles all vehicular traffic. With a height of about 142 meters (around 470 ft.), both rank amongst the country's ten tallest bridges.

Navajo Bridge is a pair of steel spandrel arch bridges that cross the Colorado River near Lee's Ferry in northern Arizona. The newer bridge of the pair carries vehicular traffic on U.S. Route 89A (US 89A) over Marble Canyon between southern Utah and the Arizona Strip, allowing travel into a remote region north of the Colorado River including the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park.
