Notes
  • Significance: Although partially reconstructed in 1960, the Virgin River Bridge retains its structural integrity. Attractive and well-executed, the bridge is a three-span, 'I' beam structure, which was skillfully camouflaged with 54-inch Redwood slabs to give it a rustic finish.

The North Fork Virgin River Bridge is significant for its association with the Zion-Mount Carmel Highway, constructed by the National Park Service and Bureau of Public Roads in 1927-30. The highway is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is considered significant in the contexts of tourism and engineering. The bridge is an integral and necessary component of the highway and is also significant for its rustic style, designed to conceal its steel structure and to harmonize with the landscape.
