Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox NRHP The Bridge over Burro Cañon, near Madrid, Colorado, was built in 1936. It carries Colorado State Highway 12, a main route linking La Veta with Trinidad, over an arroyo.[1] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[2]

It was one of about 30 Works Progress Administration-funded bridges built in southeast Colorado, and one of three in Las Animas County, in the late 1930s; it is the only WPA-funded bridge in Colorado that has a skewed configuration, crossing the arroyo at an angle.[1]

Its archways are lined with "multiplates" fabricated by the Hardesty Manufacturing Company,[1] a cement and concrete products company still existing in 2021, located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.[3]

It is a triple-arch masonry bridge Шаблон:Convert long, Шаблон:Convert wide, with a Шаблон:Convert central arch and two Шаблон:Convert side arches. The arches are semi-circular, have tapered voussoirs, and are lined with multiplates. The two piers formed between the arches are beveled. It has stone parapet walls, abutments, and stepped wingwalls.[1]

It was documented for the Historic American Engineering Record HAER by the Colorado Department of Highways in 1983.[1]

It "features rusticated stone facing and grapevined mortar joints, trademarks of Works Progress Administration workmanship in southeastern Colorado."[4]
