Challis-Salmon River Steel Bridge
A true photo shows the Round Valley bridge completed after November 1910 bond votes of £15,000 and Idaho grant of $7,500. Chas. G. Sheely & Co. built it for $14,540 plus extra freight and two approaches raising total cost near $22,000. The bridge is a single 220 foot steel span with a 16 foot roadway, in an off-site location opposed by local residents who argue a lower site would better serve most people.
