Five Mile Road | Yellowstone River Bridge | Railroad Overpass | Johnson Lane Interchange | Johnson Lane Interchange - Railroad Overpass | Five Mile Road to US 87

The Railroad Overpass segment of the project will connect the Yellowstone River Bridge project segment to the Johnson Lane Interchange – Railroad Overpass segment. This segment will include a bridge crossing over the railroad tracks and Coulson Road.

*This project has been split into two construction phases. This adjustment allowed construction to move forward on the roadway component of the project while permitting on the railroad bridge was completed.

Overpass Bridge
Status: Currently Under Construction
Contractor: Wadsworth Brothers Construction

Wadsworth Brothers Construction will begin construction on the new overpass bridge in 2024. The project segment is anticipated to take two construction seasons to complete. The bridge will be built over Coulson Road and the existing railroad.

The new bridge will cross Coulson Road and the existing railroad track and will accommodate future railway expansions. Click the image for a larger view.

Roadway
Status: Completed 2023
Contractor: Knife River

The roadway section of the project was constructed in 2023 and included a two-lane roadway, stormwater detention ponds, a box culvert, and several approaches to adjacent properties. The roadway was built on a berm to keep travelers elevated above the floodplain and provide smooth connections to the elevated Yellowstone River Bridge and Railroad Overpass structures.
