Great Falls' 10th Avenue Bridge

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.

10th Street bridge's place on city's stimulus-money wish list sparks debate

Excerpt:
Sparks are flying once again over the 10th Street bridge, which recently was placed on a city of Great Falls wish list for federal stimulus dollars.

Some residents are riled up over the idea of spending $3 million in federal grants to finish renovating the historic structure, but bridge backers are excited by the possibility of a final restoration.
