The Sevenmile Bridge is a Pratt deck truss bridge bringing a county road over the Rio Grande, 6 miles (10 km) southwest of Creede, Colorado, United States. It was designed by engineer King Burghardt and is unusual for its cantilevered ends. It was built in 1935; it then carried State Highway 149. It has also been known as Bridge over Rio Grande River. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1][2]

In 1981 ownership of the bridge was transferred to Mineral County. The bridge provides access to Marshall Park Campground.[2]
