(Yellowstone) A section of the upper Yellowstone River will be closed starting Wednesday, May 22nd, while crews work to replace Carbella Bridge on Tom Miner Creek Road south of Emigrant, according to Yellowstone National Park.
A new bridge is being constructed here after the original bridge was destroyed in a 2022 historic flooding event. The temporary closure is being implemented to mitigate public safety risks from construction activities over the water combined with high river flows.
The river closure extends from the U.S. Forest Service Yankee Jim River Access, commonly known as the Joe Brown boat ramp, downstream to the Bureau of Land Management Carbella Rec Site. The park says the closure will remain in effect until further notice, though it’s expected to last less than a week.
