The Fromberg Concrete Arch Bridge, in Fromberg, Montana, was built in 1914. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.[1] It carries River Street over the Clarks Fork Yellowstone River.[1]
It is a three-span concrete deck arch bridge designed by Carbon County, Montana, surveyor C. A. Gibson and was "quite advanced for the time": it has "flattened parabolic arches with a rise to span ratio of 1 to 7." At its completion it was the largest concrete bridge in the state.[2]
In 1993 it was the oldest multi-arch concrete bridge surviving in the state.[2]
