The Historic Charm of Capitol Boulevard Memorial Bridge

Getting There

• Walking

  If you're in the North End neighborhood, head towards the intersection of N 8th St and W State St, which is a central point. From there, walk south on N 8th St until you reach the intersection with W Idaho St. Turn left onto W Idaho St and continue until you reach S Capitol Blvd. Turn right onto S Capitol Blvd, and you will see the Capitol Boulevard Memorial Bridge just ahead. It's a scenic walk, taking about 15-20 minutes depending on your pace.

• Biking

  For those who prefer biking, rent a bike from one of the local bike-share stations, located near parks or on busy streets. Start from the North End and head south on N 8th St, then turn left onto W Idaho St. This will lead you to S Capitol Blvd. The Capitol Boulevard Memorial Bridge is directly on S Capitol Blvd and is easily accessible by bike. The ride should take around 10-15 minutes, and be sure to wear a helmet and follow traffic rules.

• Public Transit

  If you prefer public transport, take the Boise Valley Ride public transit system. Look for the bus route that serves the North End area, such as Route 1. Board the bus heading towards downtown Boise and request a stop at the intersection of W Idaho St and S Capitol Blvd. The Capitol Boulevard Memorial Bridge is a short walk from the bus stop. Be sure to check the current bus schedule for any fare costs, which typically range from $1.00 to $2.00 for a single ride.
