SR 288

The SR 288 Salt River Bridge is a beautiful remote connection to Arizona's transportation history.

This century-old other bridge over the Salt River deserves some recognition. 

 

PHOENIX – Crews will complete a two-month project in mid-April to replace 20 miles of fencing near Globe that were damaged by two wildfires, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.

The Salt and Griffin fires had burned the fencing in summer 2020 along sections of US 60 and state routes 188 and 288. The replacement work began in February and is now mostly complete along US 60 and SR 288, with crews expected to finish work along SR 188 this week.

The Salt River lends its name to some very important pieces of ADOT infrastructure. And, today, a delicious pretzel recipe, too!
