Fred Robinson Bridge

The Fred Robinson Bridge is a steel structure that crosses the Missouri River and connects Fergus County to Phillips County. It features four steel girder sections positioned along US Route 191.

Construction was completed in 1959 and the structure was later added to the National Register of Historic Places. It resulted from years of effort to improve transportation access in the remote region.

The bridge carries the name of a state senator who championed the connection between local communities. It reflects how infrastructure shaped the social ties between the counties on either side.

The bridge sits near the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument and can be reached from the north. The area is remote, so visitors should be prepared for varying road conditions depending on the season.

The structure is part of a Multiple Property Submission documenting Montana's steel bridge designs. It exemplifies how standardized steel construction methods were applied across different regions of the state.
