MT 200 bridge work to begin next week

NOXON - The Montana Department of Transportation, along with partner Hamilton Construction Company, will soon begin bridge preservation activities on Montana Highway 200. 

The bridge is located two miles southeast of Noxon, at mile marker 17.03. It spans the Montana Rail Link railroad.

Work is scheduled to begin the week of April 14 and is anticipated to be completed by Nov. 15, weather and other factors permitting. Crews will be working from Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Rehabilitation work includes replacing the bridge deck, expansion joints, approach slabs and other minor repairs. The purpose of this bridge preservation project is to extend the service life of the structure.

Traffic control will be in place during construction. Automated traffic signals directing alternating single lane traffic will be in place. Travelers should expect 10 to 15-minute delays and reduced speeds traffic through the project area. 

Wide loads, over 10 feet in width, must find an alternate route. For the most up-to-date width restrictions and road conditions visit https://www.511mt.net/.
