(WASHINGTON, D.C.) - Today, Western Montana Congressman Ryan Zinke announced the allocation of over $28.4 million in funding for bridge replacement in Bigfork, Montana. The new bridge will have an expanded deck width, be built on a redundant girder system, and use geogrid reinforcement to improve seismic resiliency. Sportsman Bridge was constructed in 1955 and currently does not meet standards for traffic volume in the area.

 Ceding to Congressman Ryan Zinke’s relentless oversight and demands, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has delayed implementation of their proposed rule that would essentially eliminate any availability for affordable air and ground ambulance services for veterans. In 2020 the VA proposed cutting the reimbursement rate for ground and air ambulance services by as much as 90%, using market data from 1998 for air ambulance services and 2002 for ground ambulance services. Had it gone into effect as proposed, the new rule would have caused drastic cuts and make it financially impossible for air ambulances to operate. In Montana, similar cuts have gone into effect in rural counties, causing Granite County to lose ambulance service altogether.
