HAMILTON, Mont. - The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) would like to announce and invite the public to comment on a proposal to crack seal and resurface two sections of shared-use path in Ravalli County. The first path section is adjacent to US Highway 93 (US 93) and extends from mile marker 49.6, north of Hamilton, to mile marker 77, at the Missoula/Ravalli County line. The second path section is along Woodside Cutoff Road, also known as Secondary Highway 373 (S 373), from the intersection with US 93 extending east, ending at the intersection with Eastside Highway, also known as Secondary Highway 269 (S 269), in Corvallis.
Proposed work includes crack sealing and fog sealing, replacing pavement where tree roots need to be removed, Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) upgrades, and a new overlay in specific sections where needed. The purpose of the project is to preserve the
existing paths and improve non-motorized travel facilities.
Construction is tentatively planned for 2025 depending on completion of design and availability of funds. No new right-of-way or utility
relocations will be needed.
Partnering with the community is an important part of properly planning for future projects. MDT welcomes the public to provide
ideas and comments on the proposed project. Comments may be submitted online at mdt.mt.gov/contact/comment-form.aspx or in writing to Montana Department of Transportation, Missoula office, PO Box 7039, Missoula, MT 59807-7039. Please note that comments are for project UPN 10452000.
The public is encouraged to contact Missoula District Preconstruction Engineer Joel Boucher at 406-544-6107 or email Project Design
Engineer Nate Walters at nwalters@mt.gov with questions or comments about the project.
