Hansen Bridge, Road bridge in Jerome County, Idaho, United States.
The Hansen Bridge extends 350 feet above the Snake River Canyon, featuring three steel girder spans and two concrete piers measuring 338 feet in height.
Built in 1966, this bridge replaced a 1919 suspension structure that held the title of North America's highest bridge during its early years.
The bridge serves as Veterans Memorial Bridge, recognizing military service members while connecting the communities of Jerome and Twin Falls Counties.
The structure carries Idaho State Highway 50 across the Snake River Canyon, accommodating approximately 9,000 vehicles daily through its 27.9-foot-wide deck.
The bridge's construction required two of the tallest support piers ever built in the United States, reaching heights of 103 meters.
