Davey's Bridge Recognized for Innovative Design
Davey's Bridge is located on the Banks-Lowman Highway, part of the Wildlife Canyon Scenic Byway in Boise County, Idaho. It was recognized in the fall 2014 issue of Aspire, The Concrete Bridge Magazine.

Efficient and innovative staged construction strategy allowed for uninterrupted traffic flow.
