Proposed resurfacing on US 212 near Alzada

The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) recently announced and invites the public to comment on a proposal to resurface about ten miles of US Highway 212 (US 212), through Alzada. The project begins east of Cottonwood Creek Road, six miles west of Alzada, and extends east, ending at the Montana/Wyoming border.

Proposed work will include resurfacing the existing roadway and finishing with a seal and cover (chip seal), upgraded pavement markings, signage, culvert repairs, rumble strips, bridge deck repair, and guardrail. The purpose of the project is to extend the life of the pavement, enhance roadway safety features, and reduce maintenance costs.

Construction will be scheduled depending on completion of design and availability of funds. No new right-of-way or utility relocations will be needed.

Partnering with the community is an important part of properly planning for future projects. MDT welcomes the public to provide ideas and comments on the proposed project. Comments may be submitted online at http://www.mdt.mt.gov/contact/comment-form.aspx or in writing to Montana Department of Transportation, Glendive office, PO Box 890, Glendive, MT 59330-0890. Please note that comments are for project UPN 10366000.

The public is encouraged to contact Glendive District Preconstruction Engineer Jim Frank at 406-345-8214 or Project Design Engineer Joy Fleming at 406-406-345-8221 with questions or comments about the project.
