An emergency closure on a portion of the Gallatin River near Big Sky has been lifted.
The closure has been enacted for human safety during certain phases of a U.S. Forest Service project to replace Markley Bridge starting in March.
The closure restricted boating on the Gallatin River from the Upper Deer Creek boat launch—just upstream of Markley Bridge—to the Portal Creek boat launch.
Future phases of the project may require the closure to be reinstated temporarily later this summer.
