Brooks St. — Mount Ave. to Higgins Ave. — Mill and Pave Project—Completed

Location: Brooks St. from Mount Ave. to Higgins Ave.

Description:  Milling off the asphalt followed by application of new asphalt from curb to curb, in coordination with the Montana Dept. of Transportation since Brooks St. is an MDT route.

Benefits:  Milling and paving projects such as this one help to prolong the street’s life by removing damaged pavement and replacing it with new asphalt. Damaged pavement allows water to seep into the cracks, which breaks up the asphalt during freeze and thaw cycles and creates potholes.

Project Dates:  Work is expected to begin Monday, May 15, 2023, with an anticipated completion date of Tuesday, May 23. All dates are subject to change due to adverse weather conditions or other factors. This web page will be updated as necessary during construction.

Other Information:   Southbound traffic on Brooks St. to be detoured from 6:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. weekdays. The street will be fully open to traffic at all other times. (See detour map.)

Traffic flow along Brooks St. during construction will be managed as follows:

• One lane of northbound traffic will be open on Brooks St. throughout construction.
• No on-street parking will be allowed during construction.
• Southbound traffic out of downtown will be detoured down S. 5^th Ave. W. with a left-hand turn onto Orange St., continuing down Orange St./Stephens Ave. to Brooks St. 
• There will be intermittent detours at W. Beckwith St. E. when crews are milling and paving at the Brooks St. intersection.
• Mount Ave. is currently closed from Blaine St. to Crosby St. for a water main replacement project, which also includes detours around that construction area.
• Traffic on Higgins Ave. will not be affected by this project.

Orange Street Underpass Ramps

Location:  Orange St. underpass on ramps at both ends 

Description:  Milling off old asphalt and replacing with new asphalt.

The project will require northbound traffic on Orange St. to be detoured at Spruce St. from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on both days. The underpass will be open to southbound traffic during work hours, and the street will be fully open to traffic at all other times. See detour maps link below.

The sidewalks through the underpass will be open during construction, but the noise levels in the underpass could be quite high.

Benefits:  Milling and paving projects such as this one help to prolong the street’s life by removing damaged pavement and replacing it with new asphalt. Damaged pavement allows water to seep into the cracks, which breaks up the asphalt during freeze and thaw cycles and creates potholes.

Project Dates:  Monday, June 5, and Tuesday, June 6, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., weather permitting
