Montana Creek Bridge Temporarily Closed to Motorized Vehicles

August 18, 2022 – News

Due to structural damage, the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities has closed the
Montana Creek Bridge (located beyond the Hank Harmon Public Range) to all vehicle traffic including
ATVs until further notice.

Alaska DOT&PF, which owns and operates Montana Creek Bridge, has determined that the bridge is no
longer safe for motorized vehicles following substructure damage sustained during recent weather
events.

Pedestrian access remains open at this time. However, if the condition of the bridge worsens then
pedestrian access may also be closed. Alaska DOT&PF is monitoring the bridge daily during weather
events for any change that would necessitate a full closure.

Alaska DOT&PF is currently evaluating options for repair. For further information, please contact the
