Steel Bridges

Fabricated in Billings, MT and Fargo, ND

full spectrum supplier of steel bridges

TrueNorth Steel has been dedicated to producing the highest quality welded steel plate girder bridges from our Billings, MT and Fargo, ND facilities for almost 40 years and 2020 marks the 75th anniversary of the TrueNorth Steel story. Excellence is in our DNA.

In the early 1980’s Jim Roscoe, CEO of Roscoe Steel, decided to expand the structural steel fabrication facility in Billings, MT to produce welded plate girders to service the utilization of long span steel bridges in the United States. In 2011 TrueNorth Steel acquired Roscoe Steel and began to service the needs of bridge builders and designers. In fact, TrueNorth Steel produces and supplies short span rolled steel beam bridges as well as steel truss pedestrian bridges making us a full spectrum supplier of steel bridges from 20’ span to 200’ and more.
