The Huerfano Bridge, is a bridge in Pueblo County, Colorado near Boone, Colorado that brings U.S. Highway 50 over the Huerfano River. The bridge was completed in 1921 after construction began in 1920.[1] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
It is a five-span filled spandrel arch bridge designed by Colorado state staff engineer Richard Dubois and was built by the Pueblo Bridge Co. A previous bridge had been christened by the community in 1916.[2] It replaced a timber truss bridge that had deteriorated severely by 1920, with two spans having fallen from damage by woodpeckers.[3]
