It was built in 1911 as a road bridge, but now serves pedestrian traffic. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. == History == In 1909, the Colorado Legislature appropriated $2,000 for a highway bridge over Culebra Creek near San Luis.〔 The bridge was designed by the State Engineer, and the work was advertised in the ''Rocky Mountain News''.〔 Bids were received on August 20, 1910, from Missouri Valley Bridge and Iron Company, Midland Bridge Company, Cuno Engineering and Construction Company, and M.F. Levy Construction Company. M.F. Levy bid lowest at $4700 and was awarded the contract. The difference was funded by an appropriation from the Board of County Commissioners of Costilla County.〔〔 Because of high water in the creek, abutment excavation was delayed until February 22, 1911.〔 Construction was finished in May 1911; Costilla county paid $2,860.35.〔 The bridge originally carried State Highway 15, but by the 1980s it carried a county road.〔 The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 4, 1985. In 2007, the State Historical Fund granted $150,300 to the county to restore the bridge for pedestrian and bicycle use. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「San Luis Bridge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
