This long three-section open-truss bridge has a short section of plate-girder bridge at each end. It parallels the north side of the Interstate Highway 40 automobile bridge as they cross the Colorado River between the old location of Topock, Arizona and Needles, California. Coordinates were taken from a turnout at the west end of the highway bridge.
