Update Aug. 4, 2021: Custer Gallatin National Forest has reported that repairs on the Durnam and Markley (Deer Creek or “Green Bridge”) have been pushed back due to delays obtaining necessary materials for the project. The contractor is hoping to reschedule mid to late September, and more information about the bridge closure will be provided as soon as possible.
Custer Gallatin National Forest announced on July 28 that a few bridges along within the Gallatin Canyon will be closed or have delays in August as construction projects begin. If you use the following trailheads or areas in the canyon, please be advised of multiple bridge projects affecting access:
- On Aug. 2, the Twin Cabin trailhead road access bridge will be closed from 7:30 p.m. until midnight while the area’s homeowners association completes maintenance on the bridge.
- On Aug. 4 and 5, Highland Construction will be completing maintenance work on the Markley Bridge (also known as the Green Bridge or Deer Creek Bridge). The bridge will be closed to traffic both days.
- On Aug. 6-13, the Durnam Bridge will be closed for maintenance.
