Montana Interstates

In the last week, we have seen how quickly accidents on snowy and icy Montana roads can quickly become tragic. First responders in Butte barely avoided tragedy as vehicles responding to an accident on Rocker Hill were struck by out of control vehicles going too fast for conditions. Motorists involved in a series of accidents near Frenchtown were not so lucky. What do you do if you go off the road on a snowy, icy Montana highway?

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.
