GERALDINE, Mont. (NMB) – The Montana Department of Transportation is inviting the public to comment on a proposal to resurface about 9.5 miles of Montana Highway 80 northwest of Geraldine.
The project begins around Frenchman Ridge Road and extends south to Rock Road, which is located 4.5 miles northwest of Geraldine.
Proposed work includes applying a scrub seal, a new overlay, and finishing with a chip seal and new pavement markings.
Signs and delineators will be replaced to improve visibility. The purpose of this project is to address pavement deterioration, improve the ride and extend the life of the roadway.
Tentatively, construction is scheduled to begin in 2023, but that is dependent on completion of all project development activities and availability of funding.
No new right-of-way or utility relocations will be needed.
Members of the public can provide written comments online at http://www.mdt.mt.gov/mdt/comment_form.shtml or in writing to Montana Department of Transportation, Great Falls office at PO Box 1359, Great Falls, MT 59403-1359. Please note that comments are for project UPN 9959000.
The public is encouraged to contact Great Falls District Preconstruction Engineer James Combs at (406) 454-5900 or District Projects Engineer Chris Ward at (406) 454-5894.
