Located across the remote Burro Creek gorge along highway 93 about 15 miles (24 kms) south of Wikieup, Arizona are two of the southwestern United States’ longest arch spans. The original silver colored 2-lane truss arch was built in 1966 by the American Bridge Company and spans 680 feet (207 mtrs) between hinges. In 2005, a second span of 700 feet (213 mtrs) was built parallel to the original Burro Creek bridge. The new rust weathered arch now carries two lanes of northbound traffic while the 1966 span handles southbound traffic. Several alternate proposals were designed including a concrete segmental arch and a solid steel rib arch.

A campground and wilderness area is located about a mile downstream of the crossing where you can hike along the south side of the creek and view the bridges from below. The site is a favorite of Phoenix-area BASE jumpers.
