Terrero Bridge
Inscription
This bridge was one of several constructed by the American Metal Company in the 1920s to provide Pecos River crossings for mining and timbering operations in the region. The 1987 New Mexico Historic Bridge Survey lists it as the last remaining bridge of this design in the state. Now bypassed by a modern concrete structure, it remains in place for use by hikers and horseback riders.
