Good morning,
Next week, only one crew will be installing high-tension median cable rail along
Interstate 90 (I 90), requiring only one set of lane closures throughout the project
area.
Line post layout and installation will continue between the Manhattan and Belgrade
areas. The westbound and eastbound left lanes closest to the median will be closed.
Crews will be on-site Monday to Friday, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday, from 6
a.m. to noon. Work will also occur tomorrow, Saturday, June 3, from 6 a.m. to noon.
Drivers should anticipate minor travel delays due to lane closures and reduced
speeds. Please slow down and watch for workers and equipment. Montana Highway
Patrol (MHP) will be onsite monitoring traffic.
Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns. Email me directly
at sloane@bigskypublicrelations.com or call the project hotline at 406-207-4484,
Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information about the Median High-
Tension Cable Rail project, visit www.mdt.mt.gov/pubinvolve/mtmcr/. Seat Belts Save Lives! Buckle Up, Montana.
For many Montanans, Memorial Day weekend kicks off the start of summer travel,
culminating with Labor Day weekend. Unfortunately, these summer months can also
be some of the deadliest on Montana’s roads due to increased motor vehicle crashes.As part of a nationwide “Click It or Ticket” mobilization running from May 15,
2023, through June 4, 2023, law enforcement agencies and the
Montana Highway Patrol (MHP) will be out to educate motorists
and enforce Montana’s seat belt law statewide. Before you make plans to travelthis Memorial Day weekend, commit to always buckle up before you go, and
insist your friends and family do the same. Using your seat belt is your best
defense against serious injury or death in the event you’re in a crash. This is a Vision
Zero Message from the Montana Department of Transportation. Learn more about
the goal of Vision Zero and seat belt safety here:
