Blankenship Bridge closes for repairs

| September 25, 2024 12:00 AM

The Blankenship Bridge north of Columbia Falls will be closed to traffic on Friday, Sept. 27 for necessary repairs.  

The closure is expected to run from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.  

An inspection by the Montana Department of Transportation earlier this summer prompted a structural analysis by Morrison-Maierle Engineering in August. The analysis revealed that the bridge required a temporary 5-ton weight restriction for safety until repairs could be completed.
