Project Overview and Background

Map of the project area. Centennial Park boat ramp and Riverside Cemetary are marked to the south east of the Snake river and SH-52 Bridge.

The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) is designing a new State Highway 52 (SH-52) Bridge in Payette over the Snake River, which connects Idaho and Oregon.

Built in 1953, the bridge no longer meets current highway bridge standards for motorists, including freight haulers who transport produce across the region.

The bridge barriers, width, and surface will be improved in coordination with the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT).

Construction Phasing

ITD and ODOT heard from emergency responders and haulers that a full closure would greatly impact response time and access.

Bridge construction will be phased, meaning a new bridge will be constructed one half at a time.

Construction will take approximately two years.
