old town

The bridge located on Old Town Road East was closed to traffic in June 2023.  This closure resulted in a 10-mile detour and has forced emergency services to reroute, causing considerable delays in service. The bridge located on Old Town Road West, located approximately one-quarter mile west of this structure, currently has a 7-ton load limit. Due to the significant population increases in both Gallatin and Broadwater Counties, Old Town Road and the two bridges continue to be vital infrastructure for the region.

 

Both bridges were funded with grants from the Montana Coal Endowment Program.

 

Construction for both bridges will be bid and constructed under one contract in an effort to reduce construction costs.  This project approach was made possible due to the current lead times on construction of the concrete beams.
