Montana's transportation department has a plan to make dozens of intersections and curves safer across the Butte district, and your town might be on the list.
The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) and its partner, L&J Construction Group LLC, have substantially completed improvements on North Interchange Road in Dillon. The half-mile segment received new pavement, seal and cover (chip seal), bridge repairs, new guardrail, and new signage. Permanent epoxy pavement markings are expected to be completed in late August.
There will be several areas of road construction taking place in Butte over the next several months affecting travel as well as on-street parking and access to driveways in certain situations in a number of areas around town. The work is being done as a part of the Butte Pavement Preservation Project and is being handled by the Montana Department of Transportation and Hollow Contracting.
The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) and its partner, L&J Construction Group LLC, anticipate improving North Interchange Road in Dillon beginning mid-April. The work on the half-mile segment will consist of removing and replacing approximately 2 inches of pavement, seal and cover (chip seal), bridge repairs, new guardrail, and new signage and pavement markings.
Inevitably with the arrival of warmer weather in Southwest Montana comes a noticeable increase in road construction, repair and upgrades all across the Treasure State. This year, however, things here in Southwest Montana will really kick in this week as the Montana Department of Transportation along with Sletten Construction will begin rehabilitating 7 bridges in and around the Butte area on Interstates 15 and 90. Here are the bridges that will be affected and what the Montana Department of Transportation says you can expect.
