Previous to the bridge's construction, ferries were the only way of spanning the Snake River. When Colonel William H Dewey proposed to build the bridge, plans were so complex that only five firms in the country were qualified to make a bid. The parts for the bridge were assembled in Chicago and then sent to Idaho by railroad. Construction on the bridge began in July of 1897 and was finished by the end of the summer. In total, the bridge weighs 450 tons. The bridge was retired from railroad use in 1947.
