Why is Dewey Bridge important to southeastern Utah and western Colorado?
Built in 1916, Dewey Bridge connected a then still remote and isolated southeastern Utah with Grand Junction, the region’s largest city and distribution center. With its status as the first long term connection between the two regions, its exceptionally long service, and listing on the National Register of Historic Places, Dewey Bridge has play a special role in our area’s development and history. Until the fire, Dewey Bridge was a popular visitor location, a main feature of the Upper Colorado River Scenic Byway and served as the eastern gateway to the Moab area.
