Good morning,
Line post layout and installation will continue on Interstate 90 (I 90) between the
Manhattan and Belgrade areas next week.
One crew will be working in the median, requiring the westbound and eastbound left
lanes closest to the median to be closed in the area.
Please slow down and watch for workers and equipment. Drivers should anticipate
minor travel delays due to lane closures and reduced speeds.
Crews will NOT be on-site tomorrow, Saturday, June 10. Next week, crews will be on-
site Monday to Friday, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday, from 6 a.m. to noon.
Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns. Email me directly

Building Connections to Bring Montana Together – Good Roads Day is June 20,
2023
If you’re traveling in Montana, chances are good you’ll need a road to help reach your
destination. There are over 73,000 miles of roads open to public travel in our state,including nearly 13,000 miles of MDT routes, that accommodate over 13 billion
annual vehicle miles traveled (AVMT). Simply put, roads and roadways (including
bridges) keep our great state connected and moving forward! The third Tuesday in
June marks Good Roads Day. This important date was designated by the MontanaLegislature in 1947, whereby the people of the state are asked to contribute toward
the improvement and safety of public highways (MCA 60-1-104). For MDT, building
“good roads” takes time and means a continuous planning process that is underway
long before ground is ever broken on a project. It can take eight years to complete a
road project, but long-range planning starts (depending on the project) 1-20 years
prior to the project start date. As transportation needs outpace revenue 3 to 1, MDT
focuses on safety and preserving and maintaining transportation infrastructure as top
priorities; in other words, keeping Montana’s good roads in good order. Join MDT incelebrating Good Roads Day on June 20, 2023, and share what #GoodRoads mean
to you! Find more facts about funding and Montana’s roads in MDT’s Fact Book:
