President Trump signed an executive order on January 24, 2025, authorizing the Bridger Pipeline Expansion, a 3-foot-wide crude oil pipeline project stretching from the Canadian border through Montana and Wyoming. The project still requires additional state and federal approvals to proceed. The pipeline would connect Canadian crude supplies to existing pipeline infrastructure in Wyoming.
