Proposed work includes:
- Milling and paving select roadway sections that have deteriorated.
- Pouring concrete aprons around utility covers.
- Replacing deteriorated concrete crosswalks.
- Replacing curb, gutter, and sidewalk on Montana Avenue between North 25th Street and North 26th Street.
- Upgrading detectable warning devices.
- Installing new pavement markings.
The purpose of the project is to extend the life of the existing asphalt surfacing and replace deteriorated crosswalks and sidewalks along Montana Avenue to enhance safety and improve accessibility in compliance with current American with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards.
Construction is tentatively planned for 2028 depending on completion of design and availability of funds. No new right-of-way will be needed. Relocation of utilities may be necessary. MDT staff will contact affected landowners prior to construction regarding temporary permits.
