South Cañon Bridge
Garfield County
In 1914, the Missouri Valley Bridge and Iron Company secured the contract to construct a bridge across the Colorado River west of Glenwood Springs in order to replace the existing ferry service.
Completed in 1915, the bridge’s pin-connected, ten-panel steel Pennsylvania through truss was considered unusual for vehicular bridge use. Listed under Highway Bridges in Colorado Multiple Property Submission.
