Miles City — The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) would like to announce and invite the public to comment on a proposal to widen about 2.5 miles of MT Highway 59, south of Miles City. The project begins at reference post 25.5 (Ed: approximately two miles south of the turn-off for the Powderville Road) and extends south for 2.3 miles ending near reference post 27.8.
Proposed work includes widening the existing roadway shoulders to at least 4-ft., flattening roadside slopes, rumble strips and a chip seal, pavement markings, and upgraded signage and delineation. The purpose of the project is to address an existing run-off-the-road crash trend on this segment of road.
Construction is tentatively planned for 2024 depending on completion of design and availability of funds. New right-of-way and relocation of utilities will be required. MDT staff will contact landowners prior to construction regarding property acquisition and temporary construction permits.
For more information, please contact Glendive District Administrator Shane Mintz at (406) 345-8212 or Project Design Engineer Megan Cail at (406) 444-6230. Members of the public may submit written comments to the Montana Department of Transportation Glendive office at PO Box 890, Glendive, MT 59330-0890, or online at: http://www.mdt.mt.gov /mdt/comment_form.shtml
