Traffic updates for highways

The Montana Department of Transportation and LHC Inc. anticipate completing paving on the northern segment of the Swan Lake Pavement Preservation project on Montana 83. Once paving is complete, additional work will begin to install rumble strips, striping, and signage as well as bump grinding.

The week of May 20, travelers can expect paving between mile markers 70 and 78, installation of rumble strips, striping, and signage, as well as bump grinding. Anticipate single-lane closures, 10 to 15-minute delays, temporary traffic lights, and pilot cars. Typical working hours are 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Download MDT’s mobile app “MDT 511” or visit 511mt.net and check your route. If you’re driving and want to check in, pull safely off the road and dial 511. Tune in to local radio stations and watch for variable message signs along the route.
