Sportsman's Bridge Community Ribbon Cutting

Celebrate the completion of the new Sportsman's Bridge with a community ribbon cutting ahead of its anticipated opening to traffic! Construction of the original bridge began in 1955, and it opened in 1959. For generations, this crossing has connected our communities, carried us to work, and welcomed visitors to Bigfork. With the replacement more than a decade in the making, come recognize the people and partnerships that made this new chapter possible. The new bridge will not be open to vehicle traffic during the event. The Montana Department of Transportation will announce when traffic will officially move onto the new bridge. Parking will be available on the west side of the bridge. Please follow parking attendants' directions upon arrival. Dress warmly-we'll be celebrating outdoors, rain, snow, or shine!
