SALTESE, Mont. — The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) is announcing and inviting the public to comment on a proposal that will resurface about 4.5 miles of Interstate 90 (I-90), east of Saltese. The project begins about a half mile east of the Saltese Interchange, and extends east, ending about a half mile west of the Haugan Interchange.
Proposed work includes milling the existing surface, applying a new asphalt overlay, and finishing with a seal and cover (chip seal), upgraded pavement markings, and upgraded signage. The purpose of the project is to preserve and extend the service life of the roadway.
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, Missoula office, PO Box 7039, Missoula, MT 59807-7039. Please note that comments are for project UPN 10540000.
The public is encouraged to contact Missoula District Preconstruction Engineer Joel Boucher at 406-544-5802 or Project Design Engineer Nate Walters at 406-523-5830 with questions or comments about the project.
