Navajo Bridge was built in 1927-1929, the first span over the Colorado River above the Grand Canyon. The bridge is 834 feet (254 m) in length, with a maximum height of 467 feet (142 m) from the canyon floor. Its roadway offers an 18-foot (5.5 m) surface width with a load capacity of 22.5 tons. A second span was completed in 1995 and became the new highway route, while the original bridge remained open for pedestrians and horses |
