Perkinsville Bridge
The Perkinsville Bridge over the Verde River was established in 1936 when it was moved from the San Carlos Indian Reservation over the Gila River.[2] The current structure was constructed from spans of the San Carlos Bridge which was built in 1913 and then rebuilt in 1921 after damage due to flooding.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
