## Resource

The Fairview Avenue bridge over the Boise River is crumbling—literally. Built in 1932 and expanded in 1976, its foundation is dangerously eroded from past floods, including a major 2017 event. With 17,000 daily users, officials warn delaying replacement risks catastrophic failure, costly emergencies, and operational chaos. They’re seeking $21 million in federal funds to replace the entire structure with a modern, four-lane bridge featuring multi-use paths and Greenbelt access—projected to cost less to maintain. Design work starts by 2028, construction by 2030. No immediate safety threat exists, but proactive action is critical before the bridge becomes a liability.
