Proposed Highway Work Near Glasgow

The Montana Department of Transportation is announcing and inviting the public to comment on a proposal that will resurface about 6 miles of U.S. Highway 2 northwest of Glasgow. The project begins about 9 miles west of Glasgow, near mile marker 531.8, and extends southeast, ending near Richardson Coulee.

Proposed work includes milling the existing surface, applying a new overlay, and finishing with a seal and cover (chip seal), upgraded pavement markings, signage, and rumble strips. The purpose of the project is to eliminate wheel line rutting and extend the life of the existing pavement to enhance safety and reduce maintenance costs.

Construction is tentatively planned for 2027 depending on completion of design and availability of funds. No new right-of-way or utility relocations will be needed.

Partnering with the community is an important part of properly planning for future projects. MDT welcomes the public to provide ideas and comments on the proposed project. Comments may be submitted online at mdt.mt.gov/contact/comment-form.aspx or in writing to Montana Department of Transportation, Glendive office, PO Box 890, Glendive, MT 59330-0890. Please note that comments are for project UPN 10672000.

The public is encouraged to contact Glendive District Preconstruction Engineer Jim Frank at 406-345-8214 or Project Design Engineer Steve Heidner at 406-3458247 with questions or comments about the project.
