Arizona Bridges
This package replaces default bridges with realistic models on 3 Arizona rivers, the Colorado, the Gila, and the Salt. Starting in the Grand Canyon floor with the Black and Silver bridges, for hikers and mules, directly below Grand Canyon Village, the default bridges of the Colorado river south to Yuma have been replaced or improved. The major pipeline bridges at Topock and Blythe are modeled.
The London Bridge at Lake Havasu City was originally built in 1835 over the Thames River, London. In 1968 the exterior granite was moved to Arizona and the new London Bridge built as a tourist attraction and working bridge.
The Old Trails Pipeline Bridge at Topock, the Ocean to Ocean Bridge in Yuma and the Mcphaul Bridge on the Gila River east of Yuma are all on the National Register of Historic Places.
The bridges at Tempe Town Lake on the Salt River are on the approach to KPHX Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport runways 25 and 26 and are highly visible particularly at night with decorative lighting on some of the bridges.
POIs have been placed at most of the bridges which are listed below with the number of bridges at those locations. One of the photos shows the area covered. Typically when there are more than one bridge at a location the bridges were built at different times with different styles or sizes. Night lighting has been applied appropriately.
