US-163 Bridge over Comb Wash near Bluff, UT, washed out by Nov 1, 2026 Flood

(Satellite)
It is easier finding a bridge when you can look for the road closed markings on Google Maps. A popup says the road is closed until late Jan 2027.

Nov 1, 2026, flood

I can't tell if the bridge uses steel or concrete girders. Note the exposed pilings under the pier cap.

A section of the Comb Wash bridge along Highway 163 southwest of Bluff is gone. It was washed out Sunday night when flooding in the wash was just too much for it. Work crews are already figuring out how to get it fixed fast

If you look closely, you can see a puddle remaining in the wash.

This is the only street view that had significant water in the wash. But it is a long way from topping the bridge.
