Lewiston Hill #417 - Idaho Historical Markers on Waymarking.com

Lewiston Hill

When automobile traffic made steep old wagon roads obsolete, a remarkable new highway grade was built down this hill in 1917.  With a series of sharp curves that let cars go 20 or 30 miles an hour -- a good speed for that time -- a gradual 10-mile 2000-foot grade was designed.  It still can be used by anyone  not in too much of a hurry who wants to see an engineering model of early highway construction. ~ text of marker
