Dearborn River High Bridge, Steel road bridge over Dearborn River near Augusta, Montana, US.
The Dearborn River High Bridge features four spans with wooden planks, stretching 251 feet in length and rising 100 feet above the river.
Built in 1897 by the King Bridge Company of Cleveland for $9,997, this bridge provided essential access for homesteaders to reach railroad systems.
Native peoples, particularly the Blackfeet tribe, utilized this crossing point during their seasonal migrations to hunt buffalo on the Great Plains.
Located 15 miles southwest of Augusta on Lake Bean Road, the bridge continues to serve local traffic while maintaining its original structure.
This bridge stands as the last remaining pin-connected Pratt half-deck truss bridge in the United States, with its deck attached at the center.
