The 1930 Rockfield Bridge west of Oro Grande is also called the Oro Grande Bridge or Route 66 Bridge. It was built in 1930 and is a Modified Baltimore Through Truss Bridge spanning 575 feet over the Mojave River. The longest span is 270 feet and the deck is a bit over 34 feet wide. The side trusses are staggered which gives the impression of distortion in an image from this position. Once you go over this bridge you are in Victorville. Notice the ornate guardrails.

x About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
xDid You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned lanes are still there.
