Bell Street Bridge

Completed in 1926 at a cost of $305,000, the Bell Street Bridge crosses the Yellowstone River in Glendive, Montana. Designed by the Montana Highway Commission and built by contractor Boomer, McGuire & Blakesley, the 1,352 feet (412 m) long, 20 feet (6.1 m) wide bridge consists of six Warren through truss spans, each roughly 219 feet (67 m) long, and a concrete approach span about 38 feet (12 m) long. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[2] At one time the main highway bridge over the river, Montana DOT rehabilitated and converted it for pedestrian use in 1992 when the bridge on the I-94 Business Loop was built 300’ to the north.[3]
