State Highway 50 (SH 50) is a state highway in Idaho that starts at U.S. Route 30 (US 30) before connecting to Interstate 84 (I-84) and ending at SH 25. It provides eastern access to the city of Twin Falls from I-84.

Route description

State Highway 50 starts at an intersection with US 30 near the town of Kimberly in Twin Falls County; the latter continues west into the city of Twin Falls. The highway continues east as a road named East 3800 North before turning to the northeast and crossing the Snake River on the Hansen Bridge into Jerome County. SH 50 continues as the road South 1150 East to a diamond interchange with I-84, where there is a truck stop on the southwest side of the interchange along a frontage road, as well as some commercial establishments on the southwest and northeast sides of the interchange.[2][1][3]

After crossing the freeway at an underpass, SH 50 continues due north before briefly turning east onto the road East 900 South. The road curves to the north again as it makes a sharp turn onto the road South 1300 East. SH 50 ends at an intersection with SH 25, where SH 25 makes a sharp turn from south to east; a connector route continues straight onto SH 25 heading north, while the main route curves to the east, continuing onto SH 25 heading due east. SH 50 passes through farmland for its entire length.[2][1][3] Despite its status as a connector route, SH 50 is not part of the National Highway System (NHS),[4] a network of roadways important to the country's economy, defense, and mobility.[5]
