Sprague Creek Culvert, Spanning Sprague Creek at Going-to-the-Sun Road, West Glacier, Flathead County, MT

Significance: The Sprague Creek Culvert is one of approximately seventeen masonry and concrete structures on Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park. The 51-mile stretch of scenic road is a unique engineering accomplishment of the early twentieth century, and the first product of a 1925 cooperative agreement between the National Park Service and the Bureau of Public Roads. The Sprague Creek Culvert is a unique structure on the road, in that it was built by day labor forces under park supervision, rather than by contract under the Bureau of Public Roads' engineers.
