GARRYOWEN, Mont. — The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) is announcing and inviting the public to comment on a proposal that will resurface about 7.5 miles of Interstate 90 (I-90), south of Garryowen. The project begins about 2 miles south of the Garryowen Interchange at mile marker 516.6, and extends south, ending near mile marker 524 at an existing crossover that is located about 7 miles north of Lodge Grass.
Proposed work includes milling the existing surface, applying a new overlay, and finishing with a seal and cover (chip seal), upgraded pavement markings, signage, and guardrail. The purpose of the project is to extend the life of the existing asphalt surfacing and enhance roadway safety for the traveling public.
Construction is tentatively planned beyond MDT's 5-year planning horizon, but has the potential to begin earlier 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, Billings office, PO Box 20437, Billings, MT 59104-0437. Please note that comments are for project UPN 10066000.
The public is encouraged to contact Billings District Preconstruction Engineer Kurtis Schnieber at 406-657-0269 or Project Design Engineer Kyle Shuck at 406-657-0226 with questions or comments about the project.
