The Arequa Gulch Bridge is the highest bridge on the Colorado State Highway system. Built in 2000–2001, the bridge spans the Arequa Gulch. It is 250 feet tall at its highest point and 1,212 feet long. The Arequa Gulch bridge is located on Colorado State Highway 67 between Victor and Cripple Creek, Colorado. The bridge was financed by the Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company (CC&V) as part of a highway realignment project to facilitate the expansion of their valley fill facility. The Arequa Gulch Bridge is part of the Gold Belt National Scenic Byway, which tours scenic gold mining towns in Colorado and traces the routes of railroads associated with the Colorado gold boom of the early 1890s.
