The Idaho Dept. of Transportation has selected Wadsworth Brothers Construction of Draper, Utah, to reconstruct the Slate Creek Bridge on State Road 75 over the Salmon River at milepost 213. The bridge is located approximately nine miles west of Clayton. Construction is slated to begin this month.
The original bridge was erected in 1938 and is vital to east/west travel between Stanley and Challis, Idaho. The bridge was showing signs of deterioration and was recommended for replacement.
