As comment periods close, Oldenburg residents feel unheard on Sportsman’s Bridge fishing access
Public comment period for FWP’s proposal to relocate their Sportsman’s Bridge Fishing Access Site from the east side of the Flathead River to the west will close today, Wednesday, May 22 at 5 p.m. Designs for the bridge, facilitated by MDT, and relocation of the fishing access site to Oldenburg Road, are set to be completed this year with construction slotted for 2025-2026.
While previous public comment led FWP to consider moving the fishing access site in the first place, some residents on Oldenburg Road aren’t happy to see the access put on their quiet road.
“All the way down through Harbor Village and over there, there’s people that wanted it moved out of there… We’re just outnumbered by a million letters,” Oldenburg resident Dan Evans said.
