New Springtime Reed Point road cuts travel distance to Reed Point
The Springtime Reed Point project shortens Columbus Reed Point travel by about eight miles and eliminates the Yellowstone Trail’s worst hill route. A $183000 budget covers grading, a Yellowstone River bridge, and four smaller spans. The 570 foot river bridge by W P Roscoe codifies three 160 foot truss spans with reinforced concrete piers, drainage, and elevated deck.
