RONAN — The week of July 17, crews will be onsite Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Milling operations will continue at the north end of the project area, past Baptiste Road.
At the south end of the project area, crews will be working on drainage improvements at the stormwater pond located northeast of the Round Butte Road/Terrance Lake Road and US Highway 93 (US 93) intersection, near the Ronan Indian Senior Center.
Crews continue installing underground electrical conduit for the new streetlights and traffic signal at the Old US 93 and 3rd Avenue intersection.
Sidewalk and curb construction on Round Butte Road has been suspended until early fall.
Spring Creek Road at US 93 is now permanently closed.
The resurfacing project on Round Butte Road in Ronan was completed ahead of schedule on Thursday, July 6. The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) and its construction partner Riverside Contracting Inc. began the project on Monday, June 19, and anticipated that it would not be completed until later this summer.
“We are pleased the project was completed earlier than expected and that crews do not have to return later this summer to finish the improvements,” Bob Vosen, MDT Missoula District Administrator, said. “We understand that there is a significant amount of construction in the area and thank the Ronan community and the traveling public for their support and patience.”
This project began at the intersection of Round Butte Road with Ag Services Lane and extended west for four miles, ending just past Guenzler Lane. Improvements included resurfacing the roadway, seal and cover (chip seal), fog seal, new pavement markings, and installing rumble strips. The completion of this project provides a more efficient driving experience.
