Little Fountain Creek Bridge
El Paso County
The steel multiplate structure fabricated by Thompson Manufacturing Company supports two barrel arches, each spanning 15 feet. Faced with well crafted stonework, including cut stone voussoirs and keystones, the bridge appears as a true stone arch structure.
Constructed in 1936, in conjunction with improvements to the highway in a rural area between Colorado Springs and Cañon City, it continues to function as a good example of a bridge built by the Works Progress Administration during the years of the Great Depression. Listed under Highway Bridges in Colorado Multiple Property Submission.
