Montana Department of Transportation Will Begin Removing the Train Bridge on the Yellowstone River

On Wednesday August 24th beginning at 8:30 am, the Montana Department of Transportation will begin removing the train bridge on the Yellowstone River at the US 89 North crossing.  Due to the proximity of the bridge to the highway, US89 North will close for up to 30-minute delays.  Please plan your travel accordingly.  

MDT’s contractors are aware that Wednesday is the first day of school in Livingston.  They will work hard to finish before school buses return students back home.  The Yellowstone River and the Fishing Access Site at US89 North are currently closed for safety.  There are no locations nearby to stop and view the demolition.  

Flood impacts to the train bridge created a potential downstream life-safety hazard.  Removing the train bridge was identified as a priority to protect the Hwy 89 North bridge and the traveling public.  Thank you for your patience and understanding.
