Swearing at motorists over the middle bridge
Middle Bridge is the crossing of Blue Mesa Reservoir (the Gunnison River) on U.S. Highway 50 near Sapinero, Colorado. Prior to the construction of the Blue Mesa Dam, Rt. 50 did not cross the Gunnison River there, and a portion of the old highway can be seen descending into the lake.
The bridge is located within Curecanti National Recreation Area.
