While the crowds of summer tourists at Montana’s Glacier National Park begin to thin, construction crews are pushing to complete several much needed infrastructure projects that have been accelerated by recent federal funding.
By the end of the 2023 construction season, work that began last year on major repairs and improvements to 13 bridges in the park should be complete. The $9.7 million spent on the repairs came from a 22% increase in funding to the National Park Service from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) enacted in 2021.
