|  | | | Was heading to Idaho City from Boise this morning and caught this pic of an old bridge or some kind of structure normally underwater. Sorry for the bad quality, but I only had my phone camera.
If I wasn't on company time, I would have hiked down to it. Can anybody shed light on this? Old roadway or railroad?

| | | | there are a series of floodgates on the river as it heads towards boise. it's hard to tell from the picture, but if you're on the bridge east of the dam, this is likely leftover material from the time when the river was being managed and sluiced during construction of the bridge & floodgates. if you're further up, on the reservoir and that's an inlet, i think it's probably leftover sluicing material from when the dam itself was under construction.

Yes, after lucky peak, just north and upstream of the hwy 21 trestle bridge. I think the easiest way to it is near the spot where they just rebuilt that small bridge. Pretty easy to spot from the road.

| | | | Guessing, it is probably a floodgate. If you look to your left after you cross the bridge, there is another structure that looks just like it that you can see sometimes too.

| | | | Out by me in California, there are a couple reservoirs that when extremely low show off old bridges that used to cross the creeks. Looks very much like the one in Chesbro Reservoir. Very low height cast in place concrete bridge, completely silted up under it. Might be similar.
