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 North 3800 East 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.
After crossing the freeway at an overpass, 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. Despite its status as a connector route, SH 50 is not part of the National Highway System (NHS), a network of roadways important to the country's economy, defense, and mobility.
