Yellowstone River Bridge

Status: Under Construction

Contractor: Wadsworth Brothers Construction

This project segment is currently under construction and is anticipated to be predominantly complete by the end of 2021, though some final work including chip sealing and roadway striping will happen in 2022. Features of the new bridge across the Yellowstone River include two vehicular travel lanes in each direction and a 10-foot multi-use path on the west side of the bridge. Pedestrians and bicyclists will be able to travel safely between Lockwood and the Billings Heights, including Dover Park, when the Billings Bypass project is complete!
