In my wide and spacious travels upon this continent, I have come to see many things. Often, I will see something that is truly unique and there after will create a page on this website to host the photos of the item that i have taken.

In fact, when I first drove under these two bridges, it was not the bridges themselves that impressed me because these two bridges were just common concrete overpasses on the interstate, something that I have seen throughout my entire life.

Instead, what impressed my was the artwork on the bridge that was done by the modern day local indigenous people. Yes, I was so impressed that I stopped to take a couple of photos.

K'Uuyemugeh Bridge

Posuwaegeh Bridge

Deer with their heartlines are on the abutment wingwalls. Corn Maidens and other images common to the pueblos of the region are shown.

The translation of the bridge name is the place of the falling rock and it in the Tewa language group which is spoken by the Pojoaque Pueblo people today.

This area was home to the Anasazi people who moved here several thousand years ago. Their descendants may continue to live in the area and most likely are those in the pueblos here in New Mexico, although many think that they left the area a long time ago.

This is a single-span reinforced concrete precast i-girder bridge.

When I look at this bridge name, methinks that it is pronounced Cool Your Monkey which is appropriate because it is on a major highway leaving out of a city to the rural areas.

This bridge is painted with symbols for mountains, clouds, and water. On the abutments are painted large whirling logs which are a symbol for the infinite.

The name on the bridge, Posuwaegeh is a Tewa word for Place to drink. Just to the east of this overcrossing, the Pojoaque Pueblo owns a market, restaurants, casinos, a hotel, and even an 18 hole golf course.
