 CONSTRUCTION UPDATE:  
 
Mary Jane Boulevard North
Mary Jane North project improvements are complete for this construction season.
 
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. The roundabout is fully open and Mary Jane Boulevard provides a connection to Broadway Street. As weather permits, crews will continue working outside the curb and gutter and installing initial lighting facilities. Due to streetlight lead times, streetlights will be installed in January of 2023. In the meantime, additional signs and delineators have been added to promote safety. 
 
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 the existing ground will continue next year, along with installation of curb, gutter, and paving. Due to 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 almost fully completed!  The lighting, sidewalks, landscaping, and RRFB’s at both roundabouts still need to be installed, and some paving, curb pours, and median islands remain on the George Elmer roundabout.  While some improvements are still to come, the roundabouts are fully operational at this point.
 
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 also look for and yield to pedestrians and bicyclists at crosswalks prior to entering and exiting the roundabouts.

Missoula County, the City of Missoula, and contractors have partnered with Kiewit Construction to complete the Mullan BUILD project, which has been substantially completed by the end of 2022. The work included utility 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
