The Old Trails Bridge is a historic bridge over the Colorado RiverinSan Bernardino County and Mohave County in the United States, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).[1] It has also been known as Topock Bridge and as Needles Bridge.[2][3]
The bridge carried a now-abandoned section of the former U.S. Route 66 across from southeast of Needles, California to south of Topock, Arizona. It is a brace-ribbed through arch bridge that was built in 1915–1916.[4] It served as a highway bridge until 1947 when the Red Rock Bridge, formerly a railroad bridge, was modified for highway use. The Old Trails Bridge was later converted to a pipeline bridge.
It was listed on the NRHP on September 30, 1988.[1][4]
The bridge has been seen in a number of blockbuster films including The Grapes of Wrath and Easy Rider.
