Nineteen one-lane bridges in Elbert Couty\, are quiet testaments to the county’s resilience and rural character\, and they owe their existence\, in large part\, to one of Colorado’s most devastating natural disasters. In mid-June 1965\, torrential rains over several days unleashed catastrophic flooding across the South Platte River basin. Although Denver-area flooding occurred on June 16\, another storm then next day devastated Elbert County when between five and twelve inches of rain fell in just a few hours. Four dams failed\, including Agate Dam on Bijou Creek\, and countless rural bridges were washed out. Roads turned to rivers\, ranches vanished under water\, and channels along East\, Middle\, and West Bijou Creeks were gouged deeper overnight. The floodwaters from East\, Middle and West Bijou Creeks combined into a surge that reached 466\,000 cubic feet per second by the time it was measured downstream near Wiggins. Long stretches of highways and county roads were destroyed\, leaving many residents isolated for days and\, in some places\, weeks. In the weeks and months that followed\, the county and state scrambled to restore transportation links many of the bridges we cross today were installed as “temporary” replacements\, quickly-poured concrete decks reinforced with rebar\, just wide enough for a pickup to pass. Six decades later\, they remain in service\, weathered and cracked but stubbornly functional\, though many are in concerning disrepair. Several still carry traffic today\, sixty years later\, a tangible reminder of how necessity and practicality shaped local infrastructure. (elbertcountymuseum.org)
