The F Street Bridge in Salida, Colorado is a closed spandrel concrete arch bridge built in 1907 by the Pueblo Bridge Company. The design also known as a Luten Arch bridge was patented in 1907 by Daniel Luten. The bridge has two spans each with length of 60 feet (18 m), and 128 feet (39 m) in total.[2] It is believed to be the first bridge of this type built by the company.

It spans the Arkansas River in a park setting.[2]
