Contents
It is a steel Pratt Pony truss bridge over Chevelon Creek on the Holbrook-Winslow Road.
History
The bridge has been standing since 1913, when the State of Arizona did a truss replacement as part of the Transcontinental Route. It was built by the Missouri Valley Bridge & Iron Co. of Leavenworth, Kansas.
It was closed for restoration in 2013, and reopened in 2014.
Heritage
The Chevelon Creek Bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, as part of the Vehicular Bridges in Arizona MPS submission in 1983.
The bridge scored 94 points out of 100 in the Arizona Historic Bridge Inventory. The rating came because of its inclusion in the Transcontinental Route and also because it was one of the first significant road structures undertaken by the newly formed state of Arizona.
