The second bridge to Sandpoint.

In 1934 the 2nd bridge across the Pend Oreille River (1934 – 1956) was constructed next to the original wooden bridge. The wooden planks on the original bridge were falling through leaving holes in the bridge making it unsafe to travel. The gap in the mountains just left of the bridge is the future Schweitzer Mountain Ski Resort. Courtesy of the Bonner County Historical Museum.
