"Twice, during its useful years, sections of the bridge collapsed, once in 1929 and again in June of 1946 when this picture was taken. By then its age was beginning to show and some weak places had developed and there was talk of condemnation, it being unsafe for heavy loads.

"A look at the McCoy Hotel from the west bank of Rock Creek in 1916. If the bridge was only able to talk, think of the many interesting stories it could tell about the many travelers that passed over it between Wolcott and Routt County.

Building the concrete arch bridge at Wolcott in 1917. The Pueblo Bridge Company began the project in 1916, on State Highway 131, crossing the Eagle River. The bridge has since been replaced.

Luten arches, which resemble a horseshoe, quickly became the most widely built concrete arch in America. -- Spanning Generations, p. 37
