Description

I remember arriving at the eastern side of Hite Crossing Bridge, pulling off to the side of the road, and thinking that I was in a movie set. The blue sky with big puffy clouds, the red rocks, the canyon walls….it did not seem quite real. If it weren’t for the modern bridge, I would have expected to see John Wayne riding toward me on his horse. The Hite Crossing Bridge is an arch bridge that carries Utah State Route 95 across the Colorado River northwest of Blanding, Utah, United States. It sits about 200’ above the river below. The bridge informally marks the upstream limit of Lake Powell. The nearest crossing of the Colorado River to the south is 185 miles away, while the nearest crossing to the north is 110 miles away. When Glen Canyon Dam was constructed and Lake Powell formed, the original river crossing by ferry at Hite was flooded. The road was realigned and this new crossing built. The bridge was completed and dedicated in 1966.
