Eglise Bridge – Yellowstone Club

“Over the River and Through the Woods” to Yellowstone Club we go

A new 500-foot long and 39-foot wide steel bridge crosses wetlands and Muddy Creek to transport commuters and pedestrians to and from Yellowstone Club, a private residential ski and golf community open to members and guests. The deck-arch bridge is primarily bolted together with weathering steel components. DCI+BCE Engineers developed the bridge aesthetic with the owner and collaborated with the steel bridge fabricator on the connection design conceptualization.

DCI+BCE’s scope of the project also included a preliminary feasibility report offering bridge options and cost estimates; preliminary drawings and concepts; final construction documents; shop drawings; field inspections; and final observation reporting.
