The purpose of this letter is to notify you that due to the complexities of the Statewide Functional Classification Review project, MDT has determined there is a need to reevaluate the approach for the completion of the project. At this time, MDT will not be moving forward with proposing changes to current roadway functional classifications. If you have already received documents from MDT including the proposed functional classification changes and letter requesting local approval, please disregard these documents. Once a new schedule for the completion of the project is established, the department will be in touch to coordinate the next steps in this effort. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Geoff Streeter at (406)-444-9131 or by email at gstreeter@mt.gov. Thank you for your time.
