Proposed S 284 resurfacing near Townsend

TOWNSEND, Mont. — The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) is announcing and inviting the public to comment on a proposal that will resurface about 26.5 miles of Secondary Highway 284 (S 284), east of Canyon Ferry Dam. The project begins at mile marker 16.0 east of Canyon Ferry Dam, and extends south, ending at the intersection with US Highway 12 (US 12), approximately 1.5 miles east of Townsend.
 
Proposed work includes a scrub seal, crack seal, seal and cover (chip seal), and upgraded pavement markings. The purpose of the project is to resurface the roadway and extend the service life of the roadway.
 
Construction is tentatively planned for 2027 depending on completion of design and availability of funds. No new right-of-way or utility relocations will be needed.
 
The public is encouraged to contact Butte District Project Development Engineer Brandon Jones at 406-494-9622 or Project Design Engineer Anita Matthews at 406-494-9636 with questions or comments about the project.
