Western Federal Lands Highway Division

Project Overview

The Manning Crevice Bridge is a 248-foot long one-lane suspension bridge that crosses the Salmon River. Constructed in 1934, the current condition of the bridge is poor and is not up to today's bridge design standards. Idaho County and the U.S. Forest Service are recommending that the bridge be replaced or rehabilitated. This project will identify alternatives to replace or rehabilitate the bridge and provide a recommendation.

The Manning Crevice Bridge project is a cooperative effort between Western Federal Lands Highway Division (WFLHD), Idaho County, and the U.S. Forest Service. Funding for the bridge replacement is included in the current Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) and the Idaho Forest Highway program scheduled for construction in early 2014.
