LAUREL, Mont. — The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) is announcing and inviting the public to comment on a proposal that will resurface about a half mile of US Highway 212 (US 212), south of Laurel. The project begins south of the intersection with Thiel Road, and extends northeast, ending at the Yellowstone River bridge.
Proposed work includes high friction surfacing, along with new lighting, signage, and pavement markings. The purpose of the project is to enhance safety features by addressing roadway departure and intersection-related crashes.
Construction is tentatively planned for 2028 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 10706000.
The public is encouraged to contact Billings District Project Development Engineer Kurtis Schnieber at 406-657-0269 or Project Design Engineer Sabastian Lucio at 406-345-8243 with questions or comments about the project.
