Avalanche Creek Bridge, Spanning Avalanche Creek at Going-to-the-Sun Road, West Glacier, Flathead County, MT

Significance: The Avalanche Creek Bridge is one of approximately seventeen prominent masonry and concrete structures on Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park. The 51-mile stretch of scenic road is significant as a unique engineering accomplishment of the early twentieth century, and as the first product of a 1925 cooperative agreement between the National Park Service and the Bureau of Public Roads. The Avalanche Creek Bridge was built during a major reconstruction of the road in the 1930s.
