The Cedar Canyon Bridge and Corduroy Creek Bridge - two al- most identical, steel girder-ribbed arches - were the last links completed on U.S. Highway 60 between Globe and Springerville in and among the last links in the national highway. The two structures are thus historically noteworthy as original com- ponents of a regionally important northeast Arizona route. They are technologically significant for their representation of steel arch design by the state highway department. Visually striking as it spans a picturesque mountain canyon, the Cedar Canyon Bridge is an important, well-preserved example of an uncommon struc- tural type. Report Assembled by: Clayton B.
