Johnson Lane Interchange

Status: Design in Process; Construction is dependent on design completion and tentatively planned for 2022.

Contractor: Granite Construction and LHC

The Johnson Lane interchange will be Montana’s first diverging diamond interchange, an intersection style that offers many safety benefits. Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) is the project delivery method for this segment, which means that a contractor is engaged during the design phase to provide constructability reviews. In this role they work closely with the owner (MDT) and design engineer (DOWL) to streamline project delivery. As the project transitions to construction, the contractor’s role shifts to general contractor. This project is currently anticipated to begin construction in 2022. The team of Granite Construction and LHC have been selected as the contractor for this segment. A video simulating traffic flow through Johnson Lane Interchange is available here.
