From conquering the flash floods of the Rio Puerco to the beauty of the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, New Mexico’s historic highway bridges have one thing in common — they played an important role in linking the state together. Built in the spirit of efficiency & progress, the bridges are artistic structures in their own right, and have become manifestations of our state’s unique history.
