Otowi Bridge

[DougW]

The original Otowi Bridge spanning over the Rio Grande River. This bridge served the secret laboratory of Los Alamos during the time of the Manhattan Project. Crossing the bridge followed with an immediate 90 degree turn with the road continuing to Santa Fe. 590nm.

I find myself following Ben - neat image of the bridge and an interesting history.

Cool Image and History Doug !!!

 

[JimFox]

Wow Doug! That's so cool! It looks like you could still go on it today! Perspective is everything, but it looks barely wide enough for a vehicle.

 

[DougW]

Thanks all! And yes, that bridge is really narrow.

Thanks all! And yes, that bridge is really narrow.

Ha ha.

I tried to map it, it shows a Otowi Suspension Bridge. It looks to be an updated bridge for this. Is this wooden one close by it?

 

[DougW]

Yes. The small bridge right next to the much larger one is the original.
