When I first moved to Boise, this was the traffic bridge over the Boise River. It made me cringe every time I had to go over it because it was two-way traffic, and I always thought my car was going to get clipped by a big truck going the other way. The bridge is now for pedestrians and bicyclists, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

I guess that without traffic one can see with more ease the beauty of this imposing bridge.
ReplyDeleteI dont think that would be my favorite bridge either, scary looking.
ReplyDeleteIt does look too narrow to be two-way. Glad they changed its use then.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot!
I love bridges and this is a good one. Isn't it great when a bridge is converted to pedestrian traffic? I'm assuming another, more roomy bridge now carries the car traffic this once carried.
