Fundraisers, work moving forward on Great Falls' historic 10th Street Bridge. (Great Falls Tribune, 1/20/2012)
Excerpt: Bridge supporters managed to save the concrete bridge, featuring eight large supporting arches, during the 1990s. Preservation Cascade has raised and spent more than $1 million on it so far.
Bridge parts nearest the water received renovations and repairs first; the bridge deck may end up as the last to be completed.
In recent years, Preservation Cascade has worked on several issues aside from decking. The bridge is lighted on weekend nights in blue, as well as on other nights when someone donates $100 in memory of a loved one or to commemorate something else. Montana Refining Co. paid to light up the bridge over the holiday in a gesture Day said the group greatly appreciated.
