The Bridge over Burro Cañon, near Madrid, Colorado, was built in 1936. It carries Colorado State Highway 12, a main route linking La Veta with Trinidad, over an arroyo. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. It was one of about 30 Works Progress Administration-funded bridges built in southeast Colorado, and one of three in Las Animas County, in the late 1930s; it is the only WPA-funded bridge in Colorado that has a skewed configuration, crossing the arroyo at an angle.
