Comments
Hector,
I would suggest contacting the Yuma County Board of Supervisors and perhaps the Public Works Department as well http://www.co.yuma.az.us/index.aspx?page=655&recordid=74 since they seem to be the main owner of the bridge. You might also contact the Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area http://www.yumaheritage.com/contactus.html since the bridge is part of their area of operation.
Hope this helps!

The bridge was rehabilitated in 2002 and is now opened to traffic.
This is call coast to coast bridge in Yuma, Arizona. This is retired bridge. It was closed to traffic since 1988. People will walk on the bridge any time.

This one lane bridge is the main income of the Quechan Indian Police. As the bridge changes traffic direction by traffic light and casino a block away, who would have guessed the source of repair funds in 2002...
The east side is designed for 4 autos to park, one "speeder" and 3 QIP vehicles. That's the typical take down procedure.
THIS IS A SPEED TRAP!
