Red Cliff Bridge

WHITE RIVER NATIONAL FOREST
RED CLIFF, COLORADO





The Red Cliff Bridge lies on Highway 24 between Leadville and I-70 in Colorado. The bridge was built in 1940 and its now on the National Register of Historic Places and that helped garner up some help paying the tab when $3.6 million in renovations happened in 2004. What that means is all of us (USA) pay for repairs like this where as renovations to the streets where we live are paid almost entirely with local dollars. Bleh. Enough with the civics and onto the bridge itself.
