Sunset Hill Road Bridge in Greenough

Sunset Hill Road Bridge, which crosses the Blackfoot River outside of Clearwater in Greenough, is a single-lane truss bridge constructed in 1907, and now is weight restricted to seven tons due to its age and deterioration. This bridge is used often by locals and recreators throughout the year, with the volume increasing in summer for river recreation.

Missoula County plans to replace the bridge, which will cost approximately $4.1 million, and 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.

Due to interest in this bridge, we created a separate Missoula County Voice page for it.
