BILLINGS - A stretch of the Yellowstone River east of Reed Point, which has been closed to boat traffic since January, will reopen Wednesday in time for the long Memorial Day weekend.
While the waterway will reopen, it will be some time before floaters will be able to access the riverbank at the old bridge site to launch or retrieve boats, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks wrote in a release. The closest fishing access sites are Indian Fort at Reed Point and Holmgren Ranch west of Columbus.
Montana FWP closed the river upstream and downstream from the Two Bridges Road bridge in January after the Montana Department of Transportation determined that it was in imminent jeopardy of failure.

Colstrip Power Plant operator and co-owner Talen Energy is eyeing a wind farm on the southeast Montana plains just outside the community where the coal-fired generator is located.
Documents obtained by The Billings Gazette show a targeted project area of roughly 14 square miles in Rosebud and Treasure counties where Talen Energy, in a joint venture with Pattern Energy, is pursuing lease agreements for a wind farm of unspecified capacity.
Both companies have energy interests in Montana currently. Talen has a 30% share of Colstrip Unit 3, a power plant facing increasing pressure to close by late 2025. Pattern owns the 80-megawatt Stillwater Wind Farm near Reed Point, which sells electricity to NorthWestern Energy.

Colstrip Power Plant owner Avista Corp. is eyeing 300 megawatts of Montana wind power over the next seven years as it determines where its future energy will come from.
The Spokane-utility included Montana wind energy in its preferred strategy for resources, with 100 megawatts of the capacity coming online in 2023, plus an additional 100 in 2024, and another 100 megawatts of capacity in 2028.
Details were disclosed April 2 in the utilityâs 2021 Integrated Resource Plan, which gives regulators in Idaho and Washington a look at Avista scenarios for providing electricity to customers through 2025 and beyond.
Avista has a 222-megawatt share of the Colstrip Power Plant, evenly divided between Units 3 and 4. It faces a 2025 deadline to stop delivering coal power to its Washington customers under the terms of the stateâs Clean Energy Transformation Act.
