CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

The week of April 3 - 7, construction crews will be working near the Mary Jane Boulevard and Mullan Road roundabout. Sidewalks, pedestrian path and median work will take place this week. Crews have removed the south end of the roundabout detour.  Lighting on the roundabouts will be installed in early April. Traffic control will be present and drivers may experience delays.

Crews continue working on the future England Boulevard connection, completing bioswales and curb and gutter.

In addition, bike path and final roundabout work will be taking place on the south end of George Elmer Drive near Mullan Road. This spring, a crosswalk will be added across Mullan Road at the George Elmer Drive Roundabout. This will help slow traffic traveling east and west on Mullan Road.

Delays of up to 10 to 15 minutes can be anticipated when traveling throughout the project area from March to June, weather dependent.  

The Montana Department of Transportation, Broadway and Mary Jane Boulevard intersection signal work will begin mid-April and will be wrapped up this summer, weather permitting. There will be no road closures/detours throughout construction. However, traffic control will be present and drivers will likely be limited to one lane for certain time periods.

Missoula County received a $13 million federal BUILD grant to construct a new infrastructure network in the Mullan Road area. The federal grant, coupled with $8 million of local funding from the City and County, will support the first phase of the Mullan BUILD project construction. A network of streets will be built to improve connectivity and provide access to current and future homes and businesses. The BUILD project will ultimately play an integral role in how Missoula grows.

Respectfully, 

Becca MacLean, on behalf of the Mullan BUILD project team
