Cameron Suspension Bridge

Coconino County, AZ

Approximate location — plotted from published sources, not a site visit, and not a guarantee of access.

A hybrid suspension-and-truss span crosses the Little Colorado River just north of Cameron on the Navajo Nation. Built in 1911 for the Arizona Highway Department, it carried U.S. 89 traffic until a modern bridge replaced it; the span later carried a pipeline. In 1986 it was listed on the National Register as the oldest surviving highway suspension bridge in the state.
