Latest Updates

Work, including setting bridge beams at the West Fork Gallatin River Bridge, will take place Friday Nov. 21st. This will cause single lane traffic with 15 min. delays at the north end of town for most of the day.

Minor work will continue until the second week of December but it should have little effect on the traveling public.

Traffic is detoured at Swan Creek through Spring, 2009 with 35 mile-per-hour speed limits strictly enforced due to reduced visibility. detour map
