MILES CITY, Mont. — The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) would like to announce and invite the public to comment on a proposal to resurface about 1 mile of Leighton Boulevard in Miles City. The project begins at the intersection with Montana Avenue, and extends east, ending at the intersection with North Haynes Avenue.
Proposed work includes mill and overlay of the existing roadway surface, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) upgrades to existing curb ramps where necessary, traffic signal work at the Valley Drive intersection, upgraded pavement markings and signage. The purpose of the project is to extend the service life of the roadway, enhance safety features for all users, and reduce maintenance costs.
Construction is tentatively planned for 2026 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, Glendive office, PO Box 890, Glendive, MT 59330-0890. Please note that comments are for project UPN 10582000.
The public is encouraged to contact Glendive District Preconstruction Engineer Jim Frank at 406-345-8214 or Project Design Engineer Steve Heidner at 406-345-8247 with questions or comments about the project.
