Envisioning a Teton River Crossing
The City of Rexburg is applying for a significant grant that would allow us to install a bridge crossing over the Teton River on 5th W. This project would allow another route of connectivity between the North and South areas of town, easing the burden of traffic on our other main arterials.

**Exploring a New Bridge Over the Teton River!**
The City of Rexburg is thrilled to announce the proposal for a new bridge that will improve connectivity by crossing the Teton River. This bridge over the Teton River will grant an additional access point to the north side of Rexburg, providing a crucial link for residents, businesses, and visitors in our community.
**Funding Opportunity:**
We are currently exploring a grant that could provide the city with up to $25 million to bring this vital project to life. This funding will support not only the construction of the bridge but also features that enhance its usability and aesthetic appeal, making it a valuable addition to our city.
**We Want Your Input!**
To ensure that the bridge meets the needs of our community, we are seeking public input on desirable design features. Your insights and suggestions are important to us and will guide our planning processes.
Some aspects to consider might include:
- Safety features and accessibility for all users
- Environmental considerations and sustainability measures
- Pedestrian walkways and bicycle lanes for safe multi-modal transport
- Amenities such as seating areas, lighting, and landscaping
- Aesthetic design elements that complement the surrounding area
Your feedback is crucial in shaping the future of this bridge and enhancing the infrastructure of Rexburg. Together, we can create an innovative project that not only serves the practical needs of our community but also enriches the beauty and character of our city.
