The third bridge to Sandpoint.

In 1956 the third bridge stretched across the river at a new location. The old bridge is to the right and connected First Avenue to the south side. The new bridge made of steel and concrete left Sandpoint closer to the Northern Pacific railroad track and then cut across the river to the south side. A one mile causeway was built from Sandpoint which shortened the bridge to 5,897 feet. Courtesy of the Bonner County Historical Museum.
