The Black Squirrel Creek Bridge is a Parker truss bridge in eastern El Paso County, Colorado. The bridge carries U.S. Route 24 across Black Squirrel Creek at the highway's milepost 327.33.
[edit] History
The bridge became too expensive to maintain in the 2000s and will be demolished and replaced with a new bridge.[1][2]
