Divide Creek Bridge, Spanning Divide Creek at Going-to-the-Sun Road, West Glacier, Flathead County, MT

Significance: The Divide Creek Bridge is one of approximately seventeen prominent masonry and concrete structures on Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park. The 51-mile stretch of scenic road is significant as a unique engineering accomplishment of the early twentieth century, and as the first product of a 1925 cooperative agreement between the National Park Service and the Bureau of Public Roads. The Divide Creek Bridge was unique among structures on the road because it lay halfway out of the park, but otherwise conformed to the specifications that determined the construction of the road.
