It is a three-span Pratt through truss bridge, on the former alignment of New Mexico Highway 2, just east of the bridge on the current alignment of the same highway. It brought the highway across the Rio Felix, near that river's confluence with the Pecos River. It rests on two concrete abutments and two concrete piers, with each of the three spans 144 feet (44 m) in length. [2]

Its headwaters are on the eastern slope of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range in Mora County north of Pecos, NM, at an elevation of over 12,000 feet (3,700 m) feet. The river flows for 926 miles (1,490 km) before reaching the Rio Grande near Del Rio. Its drainage basin encompasses about 44,300 square miles (115,000 km2).
