Joso High Bridge, Railway bridge in Starbuck, US.
The Joso High Bridge stretches 3,920 feet across the Snake River Canyon, featuring 55 steel spans and standing 261 feet above the riverbed.
The Missouri Valley Bridge and Iron Company constructed this railway connection between 1910 and 1912, investing two million dollars in the project.
The structure received its name from Leon F. Jaussaud, a local resident whose surname was simplified to Joso for easier pronunciation.
The bridge currently operates as part of Union Pacific Railroad's network, reducing the travel distance between Portland and Spokane by 52 miles.
Lower Monument Dam construction in 1968 submerged the lower portion of the bridge piers, reducing the clearance to 194 feet above water level.
