Gallatin Valley Land Trust is working with private donors to construct a bridge which will replace the existing culvert across Mill Ditch at the trailhead of Peets Hill (near the parking lot at Church and Story).

The new bridge will improve safety by creating a wider place for all of the diverse trail users. The existing culvert is eroding and causing sedimentation into the waterway. The bridge will allow the floodplain to have more room and the waterway to move more naturally through the space.

The Trust is currently waiting for final approval of the design and an additional $37,000 to reach its fundraising goal.
