Blankenship bridge closed Friday
The Flathead River at Blankenship.
The Blankenship Bridge north of Columbia Falls will be closed to all thru-traffic on Friday, Sept. 27, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. for necessary repairs.
An inspection by the Montana Department of Transportation earlier this summer prompted a structural analysis by Morrison-Maierle Engineering in August. The analysis revealed that the bridge required a temporary 5-ton weight restriction for safety until repairs could be completed.
