Bridge Bonds Sought to Link Miles City and Glendive
Custer county authorities push a bridge plan spanning 80 miles of the Yellowstone river between Miles City and Glendive. They argue the project will open vast productive territory, raise land values, and justify the bond cost with minimal tax impact while funding roads and schools. Residents endorse the proposal, citing rapid county growth, rising valuations, and expected development from improved crossings.
