SPORTSMAN'S BRIDGE BIGFORK'S NEXT NEW BRIDGE IS COMING SOON! LEARN MORE AT THE SPORTSMAN'S BRIDGE OPEN HOUSE The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) and Sletten Construction will begin work to replace Sportsman's Bridge, spanning the Flathead River on Montana Highway 82. A new structure will be built next to the south side of the existing bridge. The current bridge will remain open during construction with minimal traffic impacts.
