Good morning,
Coral Construction crews will be installing and tensioning cable at the west end of the
Interstate 90 (I 90) High-Tension Median Cable Rail project between Manhattan and
Belgrade tomorrow, Saturday, September 23, and next week, Monday, September
25, through Thursday, September 28, from 5 a.m. to 3 p.m. The left lanes closest to the median on both sides of I 90 will be closed where work is
underway. To accommodate traffic, crews will finish work by noon on the westbound
lanes and by 3 p.m. on the eastbound lanes.
A crew will also be installing guardrail in select locations throughout the project area
during the night and early morning hours. Work will occur Monday, September 25,
through Wednesday, September 27, from midnight to 10 a.m.
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.
Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns. Email me directlyat sloane@bigskypublicrelations.com or call the project hotline at 406-207-4484,

Safety is Always in Session: Back-to-School Reminders for Motorists
Montana’s schools are back in session, which means many children are walking,
bicycling, or riding a school bus to and from their destination. MDT would like toremind motorists to always be attentive and alert while driving, to share the road, and
to obey all traffic laws as school days bring school buses and increased traffic during
school start and end times. Make sure you understand and follow Montana’s school
bus laws. Yellow flashing lights indicate children are preparing to load or unload, and
motorists should be prepared to stop. Red flashing lights indicate children are loading
or unloading, and motorists MUST stop at least 30 feet from the school bus and wait
until red lights are no longer flashing. Together, we can help keep our students safe
on their journey! Learn more about the goal of Vision Zero and school bus safetyhere: Vision Zero | Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) (mt.gov)
