About Fossil Creek Bridge
Fossil Creek Bridge is a closed-spandrel deck arch bridge built during 1924–25 along Fossil Creek Road spanning Fossil Creek. Fossil Creek seems to appear out of nowhere, gushing 20,000 gallons a minute out of a series of springs at the bottom of a 1,600 foot deep canyon. Over the years these calcium laden waters have laid down huge deposits of a type of limestone called travertine. That rock-like substance encases whatever happens to fall into the streambed, forming the fossils for which the area is named.
