GREAT FALLS and LEWISTOWN, Mont. — The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) is developing the Central Montana Transportation Study to create a long-term management plan addressing anticipated impacts from planned development and military activities in the region. The study will identify transportation needs and solutions through a collaborative process with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), military officials, local jurisdictions, resource agencies, and the public. The study focuses on infrastructure resiliency in the Great Falls and Lewistown areas, as well as MDT routes within nine counties: Cascade, Choteau, Fergus, Judith Basin, Lewis and Clark, Pondera, Teton, Toole, and Wheatland.
MDT is hosting open houses to share background information and initial study findings. In-person open houses will be held at two locations on two separate dates. Attendees will have an opportunity to view exhibits and talk with study representatives; no presentation will be provided. The format and content of each event will be the same.
Lewistown
Fergus High School, 1001 Casino Creek Drive
Tuesday, June 17, 4 to 6 PM
Great Falls

Starting on June 3, MDT is also hosting an online open house, which will include a summary of the same information provided at the in-person events. To participate in the online open house, visit the MDT website at mdt.mt.gov/pubinvolve/centralmt/.
