The San Juan River Bridge at Shiprock, in Shiprock, New Mexico, is a Parker through truss bridge built in 1937. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.[1]
It is a six-span Parker through truss steel bridge fabricated by W.E. Bondurant. It brought U.S. Highway 64 and U.S. Route 666 (now called US Route 491]) over a broad floodplain of the San Juan River.[2]
From the late 1950s on, when a parallel steel beam bridge was built adjacent to it, it has carried westbound and southbound traffic.[2]
