Summary

Significance: The most substantial bridge by J.H. Forbes in the area. It was important in the early development of the community. The bridge was determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The J.H. Forbes Company constructed numerous steel bridges in the State during that time in history. The Midvale Bridge is significant as one of the most substantial bridges erected by J.H. Forbes, Idaho's first major bridge contractor. The structure is also locally significant as it is associated with the period of Midvale's burgeoning development and contributes to the historical character of the community.
