Notes
  • Significance: Early example of long truss technology in Idaho and a crucial link on the highway system. / ...As a transportation link, the Oldtown Bridge was of tremendous significance on a local, state and national level. This bridge provided a connection between Idaho's Clark Fork Highway and Washington's Pend Oreille Highway, a crossing made previously only by ferry. The bridge also was located on the National Parks Highway and the Theodore Roosevelt International Highway. Locally, this crossing served as an important economic link, connecting Newport, Washington, to the then-thriving Humbrid Lumber Company across the border in Idaho.
  • Survey number: HAER ID-7
  • Building/structure dates: 1927 Initial Construction
