The Montana Department of Transportation seeks public comments on a proposal to resurface about 3.4 miles of U.S. Highway 2 west of Happys Inn.

The project begins 0.1 mile west of the junction with Old U.S. Highway 2 at reference post 65.6 and extends northeasterly for 3.4 miles, ending just west of McKillop Road at reference post 69.0, a news release states.

The proposed project includes repaving the existing roadway; applying chip seal and fog seal; upgrading pavement markings, signing and delineation; replacing guardrail; and adding centerline and shoulder rumble strips.

The project is tentatively scheduled for 2020, and will require no new right-of-way. The project will not likely require utility relocations.

For more information, please call 406-523-5802 or 406-444-6385. Comments can be made in writing and mailed to the Montana Department of Transportation Missoula office at P.O. Box 7039, Missoula, MT 59807-7039. Comments can also be made online at mdt.mt.gov/mdt/comment_form.shtml.

Comments should refer to project UPN 9489000.
