LAKE COUNTY — The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) would like to announce and invite the public to comment on a proposal to install shoulder rumble strips on about 50 miles of Highway U.S. 93, between Evaro and Polson.
Proposed work includes installing shoulder rumble strips to reduce road departures. No new Right-of-Way or utility relocations will be needed.
Additionally, MDT would like to announce and invite the public to comment on a proposal to move the left turn lanes on U.S. 93 to the other side of the median at the Minesinger intersection near Pablo and Polson. The purpose of the project is to improve safety for left turning traffic off U.S. 93.
Construction is tentatively planned for 2024, depending on completion of all project development activities and availability of funding. 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.
