Colorado River
About Colorado River
The Colorado River is one of the principal rivers in the Southwestern United States and in northern Mexico. The 1,450-mile-long (2,330 km) river, the 5th longest in the United States, drains an expansive, arid watershed that encompasses parts of seven U.S. states and two Mexican states. The name Colorado derives from the Spanish language for "colored reddish" due to its heavy silt load. Starting in the Wind River Range and the Wyoming Range in Wyoming, it flows generally southwest across the Colorado Plateau and through the Grand Canyon before reaching Lake Mead on the Arizona–Nevada border, where it turns south toward the international border. After entering Mexico, the Colorado approaches the mostly dry Colorado River Delta at the tip of the Gulf of California between Baja California and Sonora.

It is. If you watch, you should watch the video on it because it shows exactly how they do it. There are lots of different types, but this one across the Colorado River, a tank goes up to the edge of it and these folded lumps of bridge kind of spurt out of the tank like a projectile. They spurt into the water and then they pop open.
