PUBLIC NOTICE
Indefinite Closure of Carbella/Tom Miner County Bridge over Yellowstone River
Livingston, Montana, February 20, 2008 – Due to structural damage from a single vehicle accident on the Carbella/Tom Miner County Bridge over the Yellowstone River, the Park County Commission has closed for an indefinite period of time the bridge to all vehicular and pedestrian traffic. The Montana Department of Transportation (MDOT) is recommending closure of the bridge after a safety inspection by MDOT engineers. All traffic must exit on Old Yellowstone Trail South at Mile Marker 21 off of Highway 89 South to access the Tom Miner and Rock Creek drainage areas.
It is unknown at this time how long the bridge will be closed. Park County is seeking engineering input on whether the current bridge can or cannot be repaired.
