This bridge was constructed in 1934. In 1937, it officially became part of the Route 66 alignment.

The bridge has one 250-foot-long span, and is one of the longest single-span truss bridges in New Mexico. The deck is 25-feet wide and is made of concrete with an asphalt surface.

This structure was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. It was replaced by a new bridge in 1999, but was preserved as an historic Route 66 bridge. It's closed to traffic, but visitors are welcome to walk on it.
