Sunday Bridges - Rio Grande Gorge Bridge




This is the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge which is located about ten miles north of Taos, New Mexico. This beautiful bridge spans 650 feet above the Rio Grande, which makes this the fifth highest bridge in the United States. Total span length: 1,280 feet.



"In 1966 the American Institute of Steel Construction awarded the bridge "Most Beautiful Steel Bridge" in the "Long Span" category. The bridge has appeared in several films, including Natural Born Killers, Twins, She's Having a Baby, Wild Hogs, and Terminator Salvation."Wikipedia
