U.S. Senator Jon Tester last week sent a letter the Biden administration asking for assistance in replacing the Noxon Bridge and fully restoring access to Noxon’s downtown area.
In a letter to Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, Tester said the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act has funds to support a new bridge.
“This historic bridge is critically important to the economic success and safety of the Noxon community,” Tester wrote. “In the coming weeks, I ask that you prioritize working with MDT and the local community to develop a plan to swiftly deploy funds from my bipartisan infrastructure legislation to replace the Noxon Bridge and fully restore access to Noxon’s downtown area.”
