The Boise River and Canal Bridge replaced an earlier bridge known as the Canyon Hill Bridge, and when the new bridge was commissioned by Canyon County officials, it continued under the same name.[2] Later, the bridge became known as Idaho Pacific Highway Bridge, Highway 30 Bridge,[1] or Silver Bridge.[3]
The bridge road width, 19.5 ft (5.9 m), only allows for one automobile traffic lane, and vertical clearance is limited to 14.1 ft (4.3 m).[1] These factors and that the bridge is beyond its functional lifespan have prompted Canyon County officials to consider refurbishing the Boise River and Canal Bridge as a pedestrian only bridge and building a new bridge for motorized traffic near the site.[4]
