Congressman Ryan Zinke visited the Noxon bridge last week after requesting $10 million in the federal appropriation bill to replace the historical span.
A study recommends full replacement of the 102-year-old bridge, rather than rehabilitation. According to Zinke, due to budget constraints of a small taxbase, the county is unable to fund the project alone.
"Our smaller communities in Sanders, Mineral and Lincoln counties, are all, I would say, pretty hardship counties," Zinke said during an interview on Missoula's KGVO Radio.
