RONAN — The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) would like to announce and invite the public to an open house to learn about the final design of the reconstruction of about 1.7 miles of U.S. Hwy. 93, just north of Ronan. The project begins at Round Butte Road and extends north 1.7 miles, ending just past Spring Creek Road.
The open house will be comprised of two identical virtual presentations that will take place on Monday, Nov. 15, from 5-6 p.m. and again Tuesday, Nov. 16 from 12-1 p.m. Email Laura.Langdon@kljeng.com or call 406-594-5775 to RSVP.
Proposed work includes widening the highway to four lanes, a new shared-use path that connects with the existing path to Pablo, the realignment of Third Avenue and Old Hwy 93 into one intersection with a traffic signal, and a closure of the Spring Creek Road intersection with U.S. Hwy. 93.
The open houses on Nov. 15, 16 will serve as a key opportunity to have a conversation about the upcoming work and answer questions from the community.
An important part of properly planning for future projects is partnering with the community. The Montana Department of Transportation welcomes the public to comment on the proposed project. Comments may be submitted online at http://www.mdt.mt.gov/mdt/comment_forms.shtml or in writing to Montana Department of Transportation, Missoula office at PO Box 7039, Missoula, MT 59807-7039.
