Schwartz Creek Bridge in Clinton

Schwartz Creek Road Bridge, which crosses the Clark Fork River near Clinton, was constructed in 1956 and is scour critical, meaning the river could wash away enough sediment around the piers to compromise the structural integrity of the bridge, especially amid high water.

Missoula County Public Works has this bridge on their radar and is currently working with a consultant to develop a preliminary engineering report that would determine the necessary repairs and cost associated with the repairs. The PER would be used to inform future grant applications to fund the needed repairs.
