Delgado Street Bridge - Santa Fe, NM - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

"Constructed in 1927 and 1928, the Delgado Street Bridge spans the Santa Fe River, connecting Canyon Road to Alameda Street. The approximately 40’-6”-long bridge is made of a single reinforced-concrete deck-girder span arranged at a skew over the stream. The girders rest on concrete abutments with skewed wingwalls. The north end of the superstructure sits on cast-steel plates, while the east end rests cast-steel rocker bearings. The 23’-5”-wide deck carries two lanes of traffic over a 22’-wide concrete roadway. The deck is framed by sturdy concrete posts and railing ornamented with recessed stamped panels. The railing continues along the radii of the curve, creating a gateway effect. In appearance, the structure presents a nearly unaltered vision of the urban bridge design aesthetic of the 1920s. In this regard it retains the seven aspects of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association." (visit link)
