Good afternoon,

The week of August 29, through September 2, crews remain present throughout the Mullan area.
 
PLEASE WATCH FOR SIGNS AND SLOW DOWN ON MULLAN ROAD. Highway patrol crew members are present. Fines double for traffic violations in the work zone. Thank you for your understanding as we work to keep everyone safe!
 
School starts for Hellgate School District on Wednesday, August 31. Please be aware of increased traffic and pedestrians and continue to be cautious when driving, walking, or bicycling. 
 
Roadwork is taking place on the north end of Mary Jane Boulevard. Specifically, paving continues between Flynn Lane and Broadway. Access to Broadway from Veterans Way and Summit Beverage continues to be redirected through Flynn Lane.
 
Connected to this, but part of a different MDT project, crews are starting the installation of a signalized intersection where Mary Jane Boulevard connects to Broadway. This MDT project also includes improvements to the Flynn Lane/Broadway intersection. Traffic detours will be present in the coming weeks as Flynn Lane and Mary Jane Boulevard will be partially closed for periods of time to facilitate the construction.  Please anticipate delays.
 
In addition, a detour remains on Mullan Road located immediately east of Flynn Lane. Here, crews are continuing paving and utility work for the roundabout at the intersection of Mary Jane Boulevard and Mullan Road. A progress photo link is included below.

George Elmer Drive between Mullan Road and Bell Tower Road is closed through the end of construction season for roundabout installation. Traffic continues to be detoured. Drivers are directed through the detour on Mullan Road via the newly construction frontage road. 
 
Lastly, utility work is taking place on England Boulevard between Flynn Lane and George Elmer Drive. 
 
Please prepare for 10 - 20 minute delays when traveling through any of the above work zones. 
 
An updated project timeline is posted on the BUILD webpage, linked here.

Missoula County, the City of Missoula, and contractors have partnered with Kiewit Construction to complete the Mullan BUILD project, which is anticipated to be substantially completed by the end of 2022. The work includes infrastructure and roadway construction of Mary Jane Boulevard South, Mary Jane Boulevard North, England Boulevard, George Elmer Drive, and two roundabout intersections along Mullan Road (Mullan/George Elmer Drive and Mullan/Mary Jane Boulevard).
 
Take care,
Becca MacLean, on behalf of the BUILD Project Team
