CONSTRUCTION UPDATE:  
 
Mary Jane Boulevard North
Most of the Mary Jane North project improvements are complete for this construction season. The remaining scope will be focused on the back side of the curb and gutter to ensure proper drainage this winter.
 
The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) has a separate project on West Broadway, and crews are installing a signal at the intersection of Mary Jane Boulevard and West Broadway, weather permitting. The MDT project also includes improvements at the intersection of Flynn and West Broadway, requiring traffic control along West Broadway.  Please follow traffic sign information for detours and local access. Please drive the posted speed limit and watch for workers and equipment near the roadway. Questions? Please contact mredmond@mt.gov.
 
Mary Jane Boulevard South & Roundabout
Traffic is now entirely on the roundabout. As weather permits, crews will continue working outside curb and gutter and start installing initial lighting facilities. Weather permitting, the roundabout is expected to be fully open on Tuesday, November 15, allowing access north along Mary Jane Boulevard.
 
George Elmer Drive & Roundabout
Crews paved the first lift for the eastbound traffic, and the second lift will be paved in the spring of 2023. Crews have also paved Marie Drive and completed the frontage road. The George Elmer Drive roundabout is now fully open in its winter configuration. George Elmer Drive between Pius Way and Abby Lane is also planned to open soon.
 
England Boulevard
Shaping and grading of the existing ground continue, along with geotextile and subgrade material placement. Due to incoming cold weather and snow, the roadway improvements along England Boulevard between George Elmer Drive and Flynn Lane will be paused in the coming weeks and picked up again in 2023.
 
General Updates
 
As mentioned above, Mullan Road's two roundabouts 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 exiting, 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. 
 
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
