Good morning,
Starting tomorrow, Coral Construction will begin the next phase of the Bozeman area
Interstate 90 (I 90) Median High-Tension Cable Rail project. Crews will be working at
the west end of the project area, between Three Forks and Manhattan, installing and
tensioning cable.
This work will occur Saturday, August 26, and next week, August 28 through August
30, between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m.
The left lanes closest to the median on both sides of I 90 will be closed where work is
underway.
Please slow down, follow traffic control, and watch for workers and equipment
throughout the project area. Drivers should anticipate single-lane traffic, reducedspeeds, and minor travel delays.
Labor Day Holiday work schedule: Work will pause starting Thursday, August 31,and resume Wednesday, September 6, to accommodate increased holiday traffic and
give workers time to spend with their families. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns. Email me directly

Make a Sober Ride Part of Your Labor Day Plans.
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 “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” mobilization runningfrom August 16, 2023, through September 4, 2023, law enforcement
agencies and the Montana Highway Patrol (MHP) will be increasing patrols to
watch for and stop impaired drivers on Montana’s roadways. Before you make
plans to travel for Labor Day weekend, plan for safe, sober transportation andinsist your friends and family do the same. Remember to always buckle up
before you go, as 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 VisionZero and impaired driving prevention here:
