Hansen Bridge, Road bridge in Jerome County, Idaho, United States.

Hansen Bridge is a concrete deck girder bridge carrying Idaho State Highway 50 across the Snake River Canyon, 4 km north of the town of Hansen. From the canyon's south rim it runs over four full-web girders of 61, 79, 61 and 31 m, a total of 232 m between abutments. Three reinforced concrete piers, the two central ones up to 103 m tall, hold the 8.5 m wide deck 107 m above the Snake River.

The first bridge here, completed in 1919 by the Midland Bridge Co. of Kansas City to a design by R.M. Murray, was a steel suspension span 325 feet high with a 14-foot wooden deck, the first to cross the Snake River Canyon in southern Idaho. Too light for growing traffic, it was replaced in 1966 by the present girder bridge and then demolished.

The bridge's official name, Veterans Memorial Bridge, honors military service. It is named after the town of Hansen just to its south, and its predecessor was the first bridge to cross the Snake River Canyon in southern Idaho, linking the two halves of the Magic Valley.

The bridge carries Idaho State Highway 50 and offers clear views across the canyon as you travel. Be prepared for windy conditions, especially near the railings, which are common in this area.

The two concrete support piers rank among the tallest ever constructed in the United States, a technical detail that often goes unnoticed by visitors. This engineering choice was necessary to bridge such a deep gorge safely.
