Constructed in 1911 for $31,000, the [8th Street bridge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninth_Street_Bridge_(Boise,_Idaho)) has provided access to downtown Boise for more than 100 years. The bridge was retired from vehicle use in the mid-1980s, the deficient bridge deck was replaced with a wood plank deck, and the bridge was given to the City of Boise for use as a pedestrian bridge. 

Working with [Boise Parks and Recreation](https://www.cityofboise.org/departments/parks-and-recreation/), River Structures designed a new lightweight concrete deck to replace the wood deck, providing an improved walking/riding surface and better access for users with disabilities.
