Colorado’s Genesee Bridge Makes for a Picture Postcard Gateway to the Rockies

This bridge was engineered to not block the view of the gorgeous mountains behind it.

This photo was taken around 1970 or 1971, shortly after the Genesee Bridge, sometimes known as the Picture Frame Bridge, was built along U.S. Route 40 over Interstate 70 near Genesee, Colorado. The bridge frames the Rocky Mountains as you drive westbound from Denver. Provided by the Colorado Department of Transportation/TNS

DENVER—I don’t remember the first time I noticed the perfect way in which the Genesee Bridge perfectly frames the grandeur of the Rocky Mountains as you head west on Interstate 70.
