The Second Bridge...

Courtesy of Larry Fleming.....

This is the 2nd Bridge to cross the Snake River coming into SwanValley from the west. It was built in 1922. The Gros Ventre flood took it out in 1927. Also in 1922 Harry Kruse & a man named Tolliver built the first road from the bridge up over Pine Creek Bench & down into SwanValley. This road from the bridge to the top of the bench was steep. You can still see the road from the Lundquist Ranch. Model T Ford cars had to be backed up this road due to there gas system.

I remember singing London Bridge as fast as we could when we went over it. And "over the river and through the woods to Grandma's house we go."  - Sheila Weise Anderson
