A new story from The History Museum in Great Falls, Montana, recounts how community members rallied to save the 10th Street Bridge. Designed by Ralph W. Adams of Spokane and George H. Shanley of Great Falls and completed in 1920, the open-spandrel concrete arch spans 1,130 feet over the Missouri River and is still the longest open-spandrel arch bridge in Montana. The post draws on the museum’s collection of original drawings and construction photographs.
