The Querino Canyon Bridge is located approximately four miles (6.4 km) southwest of Houck, Arizona, on Old Route 66, over Querino Canyon.

It is a Warren deck truss bridge developed in 1929 by the Arizona Highway Department (AHD) as part of renovating and re-routing what was then U.S. Route 66 between Sanders and Lupton in Apache County.[2]

The contractor was F.D. Shufflebarger; the material was produced by Inland Steel Company.[2]
