Glacier Creek Bridge in Condon

Glacier Creek Bridge, which crosses Glacier Creek located in Condon and is over 50 years old, has a partial closure and 22-ton load restriction, due to a failed wood piling (a leg that acts as the support for the bridge). Missoula County Public Works staff installed a curb to keep people from driving over the failed piling, reducing the roadway width to around 12 feet. This bridge is used often by locals throughout the year.

Missoula County plans to fix the bridge, which could cost as much as $100,000, and those repairs are planned to be funded through SB536 funding. The County also applied for two federal grants in 2024 but did not receive them. Staff met with the Federal Highway Administration to find out how to improve the grant applications and will apply again in 2025.
