Notes
  • Significance: One of only a few Idaho bridges built by prominent western contractor Charles G. Sheely. One of the first steel bridges in Washington County and may have set standards for local steel bridge building. / During the period of 1908 and 1910, six steel bridges were constructed under the authority of Washington County. The Burton Road Bridge, crossing the Little Weiser River just south of the old town of Salubria, was one of the first to be completed. The town of Salubria is no longer in existence, but the present town of Cambridge, Idaho, is within approximately two miles of this bridge site. The bridge is on a major farm-to-market road, providing a primary access from hill country, cattle ranches and dry land grain farms and from river valley farms with diversified small grains, corn and hay crops. It provides access to the commercial services and the railroad at Cambridge, Idaho. The Burton Road Bridge is significant as one of the few Idaho bridges built by the prominent western contractor, Charles G. Sheely. In addition, it appears likely that the two Sheely bridges were the first steel bridges built in Washington County and, as such, undoubtedly set local standards for steel bridge building.
