Travelers crossing the bridge on U.S. Highway 64 toward Beclabito will have a smooth ride with the completion of the connection that brings Arizona and New Mexico together.
County, tribal and chapter house representatives gathered alongside community members to celebrate the project, which will continue toward Shiprock, according to project manager Dartanyan Wofford of AUI Inc.
The bridge was constructed in 1958 and has showed deterioration, including a crack on the bottom of the bridge, said chapter house President Melissa Kelly.
“When it came to wanting this new bridge implemented, they were proud of it,” Kelly said about the community input. “They said, this is their access to bigger cities.”
