From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Moyie River Canyon Bridge is a structural steel truss cantilever bridge on U.S. Route 2/U.S. Route 95 spanning the Moyie River near Bonners Ferry and Moyie Springs. It was constructed in 1965 and it is 1223 foot long and 424 feet high. The current bridge replaced an obsolete bridge built in 1923.

It is the second highest bridge in Idaho, exceeded only by the 476 foot high Perrine Bridge across the Snake River near Twin Falls, Idaho.
