A careful search of the described area revealed no evidence of the mark.
The mark was apparently destroyed when the bridge was rebuilt to widen the highway.

I found a mark that matches the location description at N33 40.529 W113 57.679. It was at the center of the South bridge structure, about 75 feet West of the intersecting road to the South. It is marked "Arizona Highway Dept". The only problem is that the designation doesn't match. This one is marked 1383.76, which is not listed on Geocaching.com. So, unless someone clears this up for me, I guess it's not a "find". Pics posted.
