BILLINGS, Mont. – Today, the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) announced that the temporary connection to a portion of the NE Billings Bypass will open to the public on Thursday, July 3.
“This is an exciting moment for the project team, our stakeholders and the community,” said Mike Taylor, MDT Billings District Administrator. “The opening of this temporary connection is a major milestone for the project and signifies the halfway point in the construction of the Billings Bypass corridor.”
