OVERALL PROJECT 

Clean up, signage, bioswales and final concrete work will take place in the coming weeks as construction comes to a close. Traffic control will be present, and drivers may experience delays.

Crews anticipate this roadwork to be substantially complete by mid-June, weather and material dependent.

The Montana Department of Transportation is conducting pavement preservation operations on West Broadway, also known as Old Hwy 10 (US 10), from the intersection of West Broadway and US Highway 93 (US 93), near Love’s Truck Stop to the Reserve Street overpass, north of Costco. Construction began on April 24, 2023, and will continue for approximately 10 weeks. More details are included at this link: https://mdt.mt.gov/pubinvolve/oldhwy10/updates.aspx. 

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.
