BIGFORK, Mont. — The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) and Sletten Construction will pour concrete for the new Sportsman’s Bridge foundation Tuesday, April 21, through Thursday, April 23, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The eastbound lane of the bridge will be closed while concrete work is being performed. Traffic will be reduced to a single lane controlled by temporary traffic signals and flaggers. Motorists should plan for delays of up to 15 minutes.

Drivers are asked to please slow down, follow traffic control, and watch for workers and equipment. Speed limits will be reduced to 25 mph within the project area.
