If you’ve ever tried to navigate a morning commute only to find your favorite shortcut has been replaced by orange cones and “Under Construction” signs, you know the feeling. Well, consider this your official heads-up: Lewis and Clark County is gearing up for a temporary closure of the Missouri River Bridge, and they want to make sure you aren’t left stranded on the wrong side of the water.
Whether you’re a local commuter, a weekend warrior, or just someone who really enjoys a smooth ride over the river, it’s time to mark your calendars for Wednesday, April 8, 2026.
The Details: When, Where, and Why
The county is hosting a public information meeting to dish all the details on the closure and other community tidbits. Here is the “need-to-know” for the gathering:
- Date: Wednesday, April 8, 2026
- Time: 6:30 p.m.
- Location: Volunteer Fire Department Gymnasium, 375 Augusta Street, Craig.
More Info
It’s not just about the bridge. Representatives from Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) will also be in the building. They’ll be providing a much-anticipated update on the Craig Fishing Access Site overflow parking project.
If you’ve ever spent twenty minutes circling for a spot just to get your line in the water, this part of the meeting is basically your Super Bowl.
Can’t Make It?
We get it—life happens. If you have questions about detours or dust clouds, you can reach out to the Lewis and Clark County Road and Bridge Division directly at 406-447-8031.
Stay informed, stay clever, and let’s keep Craig moving!
