Public invited to dedication of interpretive signs

In 2014, the Idaho Transportation Department proposed replacing the historic Round Prairie Creek Bridge on U.S. Highway 95 near the Canadian border. The 24 feet wide and 31.6 feet long bridge, an example of a tee-beam bridge from the 1930s, was designed in 1932, cast in concrete and completed in 1933. The replacement bridge is to be a full span beam structure with a span length of 52 feet and a width of 44 feet; with abutments of precast concrete founded on pilings. The work will also consist of asphalt overlay, three box culverts and one pipe culvert. The project is funded by the Federal Highway Administration.
