Summary: View of the Red Trail Bridge at Medora. Buttes are visible in the background.||When the Red Trail, later known as Highway 10, was extended from Mandan to Medora, the Little Missouri River did not have a crossing. Motorists either forded the river or waited for a railroad crew to carry their auto across on a flatcar. Funds for a bridge were raised from communities along the route; donations ranged from $800 to $1,700. It was known locally as "The Bridge That Boost Built." At its dedication a crowd gathered to hear North Dakota poet James W. Foley, Jr.. read an original composition entitled "The Building of the Bridge."
