Serving Southern Jefferson County in the Great State of Montana
MERIDIAN BRIDGE COMPLETE: Jefferson County Commissioners Bob Mullen, Cory Kirsch, and Dan Hagerty celebrated the completion of the bridge with Broadwater County Commissioners, the Broadwater and Jefferson County Road Departments, Battle Ridge Builders, and Stahly Engineering.
The Jefferson County Commissioners, Broadwater County, and Gallatin County representatives met in the Sappington area in the southeastern part of Jefferson County on Wednesday, October 18, 2023, for the final walk-thru of the new Meridian Bridge.
Stahly Engineering was the initial leader in the making of the new bridge, which crosses over the Jefferson River from Meridian Road which Broadwater and Jefferson County share, and then to the other side where Willow Creek, Montana is located.
This project was first in the making in early 2021 and in September of 2022 demolition of the old steel single-wide bridge began which left no bridge for accessibility except the Williams Bridge from Jefferson River Road and KG Ranch Road.
The new bridge can now accommodate two lanes of traffic, unlike how the old single bridge was, and can also support a higher weight rating for travel across the bridge for bigger motor vehicles.
