MT 41 Bridge Closure In Twin Bridges

*Update as of Tuesday, April 9 at 3:32 p.m.

The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) announces a bridge closure on Montana Highway 41 (MT 41), near the intersection with Main Street in Twin Bridges.

MDT Bridge inspectors have determined the bridge that spans the Beaverhead River cannot currently support traffic. A reinforced concrete pier wall foundation is actively failing due to deterioration of the concrete supporting steel girders.

MDT is actively reviewing options to safely restore pedestrian, passenger vehicle, and emergency services traffic across the bridge.

Repair options are being evaluated to open the bridge as quickly as possible while the Department expedites a project to replace the bridge.

MDT understands the importance of this bridge to the community and traveling public. Restoring travel on this route is a top priority for the Department.

Currently, there is no timeline for reopening the bridge. More information will be distributed as it becomes available.
