The Miles Creston road is Lincoln County's only minor arterial. It serves as a as a cutoff from SR 2 to SR 25 and accommodates freight and goods transport. It also provides the major access to Lake Roosevelt and the many small developments and communities along the Lake.
The fracture critical Miles Creston Bridge was structurally deficient, functionally obsolete, narrow and weight restricted. Prior to replacement, the bridge was limited to one way traffic and a reduced speed. The need for the bridge replacement was to allow legal weight vehicles to use this route without going 325 miles out of their way.
A shoo-fly detour was constructed to accommodate the normal traffic. A new prestressed, precast concrete bridge was installed on pile foundation. This was accomplished in one construction season and under budget.
