Querino Canyon Bridge
Arizona
A 1930 steel deck-truss bridge still spans Querino Canyon on a since-bypassed stretch of old Route 66, four miles southwest of Houck — the highway's 1947 realignment stranded it in place, so it's sat here quietly earning National Register status while I-40 traffic roars past a few hundred yards north.
Why Roamward picked it
A genuine engineering-history stop in the Sanders-to-Houck stretch of the dead zone, distinct from the Rio Puerco/Winslow Underpass/Chevelon Creek bridges already staged near Winslow — fills the Apache County AZ gap specifically. Free, roadside, no ticket friction; strong pull for Route 66 completionists.
