Proposed project separate from 54 mile stretch scheduled for 2021 construction season
The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) recently announced a proposal to resurface about 9.5 miles of Highway 323, southeast of Ekalaka. The public is invited to comment.
The project begins approximately one mile south of the Prairiedale Road intersection, at reference post 8.2 and extends southeast for 9.5 miles ending near the Boxelder Creek Bridge at reference post 17.7.
Proposed work includes pulverization, grading and paving the roadway, and finishing with a seal and cover (chip seal). Bridge work, upgraded pavement marking and signage are also included. The purpose of the project is to extend the life of the pavement and to reduce maintenance costs.
The project is tentatively scheduled for construction during the 2022 construction season, depending on completion of all project development activities and availability of funding. This project is separate from the Ekalaka - South and Alzada - North projects on Highway 323, which are currently scheduled for the 2021 construction season. No new right-of-way or utility relocations will be needed.
An important part of properly planning for future projects is partnering with the community. The Montana Department of Transportation welcomes the public to provide ideas and comments on the proposed project.
