The new steel girder bridge will be 1,285ft long and 175ft high, as well as feature drilled shafts, concrete decking, and railing.

Located within a hydrothermally and geothermally active zone, the bridge will need sulphate-resistant cement and temperature monitoring of below-grade concrete curing.

During the construction stage, several temporary bridges will be built to offer access for workers over waterways and other sensitive areas.

Sterling CEO Joe Cutillo said: “We are proud to have been awarded this project, which will serve to modernise one of the country’s national treasures while minimizing environmental impacts and disruption to visitors.

“The Yellowstone project is reflective of the continuing shift in our transportation solutions segment toward sophisticated design-build work and away from low-bid heavy highway work.”

The project has already commenced this month and is set to complete towards the end of 2026.
