State plans paving on US 2 near Happy's Inn

The Montana Department of Transportation is seeking public to comment on a proposal to resurface about seven miles of U.S. 2, 36 miles southeast of Libby in 2024.

The project begins at the bridge over McKillip Road and extends east for approximately seven miles, ending one mile east of the ACM Road intersection.

Proposed work includes milling the existing surface, applying a new overlay and finishing with a chip seal, upgraded pavement markings and new signage. The purpose of the project is to preserve the existing pavement.

The project is tentatively scheduled for construction in 2024, depending on completion of all project development activities and availability of funding. No new right-of-way or utility relocations will be needed.

The Montana Department of Transportation welcomes the public to provide ideas and comments on the proposed project.
