 At this point a swing bridge was built that pivoted on this large poured concrete foundation. The bridge was built to allow stern wheeled paddle boats that plied the Colorado River to continue to travel further upstream on their way from the Sea of Cortez.

See our page on Yuma Area Historical pictures for views from that time period.

Located at Yuma's Pivot Point Park is this laser light that operates during the cooler parts of the year.
