Good afternoon all,
  
The week of October 3-7, crews remain present throughout the Mullan area. Thank you for your continued patience. 
 
REMINDERS:
 
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 is in session! Please be mindful of traffic, bicyclists and children in the area.
 
Please plan ahead and avoid left turns from Flynn Lane onto Mullan Road. We encourage you to use Mary Jane Boulevard and Broadway or England and Reserve to travel east.

CONSTRUCTION UPDATE:
  
Major roadwork has wrapped up at the north end of Mary Jane Boulevard. Striping has been completed.  
 
Connected to this, but part of a different MDT project, crews are working on the installation of a signalized intersection where Mary Jane Boulevard connects to Broadway. The MDT project also includes improvements at the intersection of Flynn and Broadway, which will require traffic control along Broadway.
 
The Flynn Lane and Broadway intersection is closed. Drivers can use Mary Jane Boulevard to access Broadway.
 
In addition, a detour remains on Mullan Road located immediately east of Flynn Lane. The westbound traffic has been shifted onto the roundabout, and eastbound traffic will be on the detour for one or two more weeks. Here, crews are continuing paving of the roundabout and utility work at the intersection of Mary Jane Boulevard and Mullan Road. 
 
George Elmer Drive between Mullan Road and Bell Tower Road remains 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 constructed frontage road. George Elmer roundabout concrete paving will take place this week.
 
The two roundabouts on Mullan Road are nearing completion! Roundabouts move traffic efficiently. As a reminder, please slow down, yield, and look left when approaching the roundabout. Drivers within the roundabout have the right of way. Once clear, enter the roundabout. Prior to exit, put your blinker on to indicate to other drivers where you intend to exit the roundabout. The idea is that movement occurs continually through the roundabout to keep traffic flowing. 
 
Similar to past weeks, utility and water work is taking place on England Boulevard between Flynn Lane and George Elmer Drive. Sewer and water improvements along England Boulevard are scheduled to be complete by mid-October.  The roadway improvements along England Boulevard between George Elmer Drive and Flynn Lane may be completed as soon as this fall depending on weather and other factors.  If England Boulevard is complete this fall, it will be open to traffic this winter.
 
Please prepare for 10-20 minutes of delays when traveling through any of the above work zones. 
 
Please feel welcome to email me at becca@bigskypublicrelations.com with any questions or feedback.

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
