Significance: The St. Mary River 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. Like other structures on the road, the three-span St. Mary River Bridge was constructed using materials native to the park in an effort to make the bridge less obtrusive in the landscape.
