Rehab work on Cyr Bridge begins this month
The Cyr Bridge on old Montana 10 is over 90 years old and is used primality by residents in the area. But during summer, it’s a pivotal point to float the Alberton Gorge. The Fish Creek exit, west of the bridge, will become the lifeline for floaters using the boat ramp this summer. (Monte Turner/Mineral Independent)
Mineral County commuters may not realize how many bridges cross over the Clark Fork River until "work zone" signs are posted.
Alberton has been the epicenter of construction so far this spring and starting April 5, another bridge will begin rehabilitation. However, this is one that few drivers use but its safety is a concern for the Montana Department of Transportation.
Along with Frontier West, work will begin on the Cyr Bridge located on Old Highway 10 west of Alberton. This is the bridge that looks down on the boat/raft launch for those about to float the Alberton Gorge.
