MDT Proposes Safety Improvement Project on US-87

GREAT FALLS, Mont. (NMB) – The Montana Department of Transportation has announced a proposed safety improvement project on US Highway 87.

A press release says the project would lead to shoulder rumble strips being installed from just north of Great Falls to just south of Big Sandy.

Rumble strips are designed to save lives and prevent serious crashes. MDT is designing the safety improvement project on US 87 to address roadway departure and crashes along this route.

Construction is tentatively planned for 2021 depending on completion of design and availability of funds.

The public is encouraged to comment on this proposal. Comments may be submitted online or in writing to the Montana Department of Transportation, Great Falls office at PO Box 1359, Great Falls, MT 59403-1359.
