Hardy Bridge

Hardy Bridge is a Warren through truss, three-span, two-lane bridge in the western United States. It crosses the Missouri River and is located at milepost 6 on Old U.S. Route 91, about fourteen miles (23 km) southwest of Cascade, Montana, which is southwest of Great Falls. Constructed 95 years ago i

n 1931, it was one of many similar bridges built during a great expansion of bridges and roadways in the state of Montana. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 4, 2010. Hardy Bridge is named for the unincorporated small community of Hardy, which is about two miles (3 km) downstream from the bridge below the Pine Island Rapids. The bridge is located on a northwest-southeast axis in the Adel Mountains Volcanic Field, a spectacularly eroded 75-million-year-old volcanic field; the approximate elevation of the river is 3,400 feet (1,035 m) above sea level.
