Crews are continuing work on Harrison Avenue and Homestake Pass this week. Crews expect to pause work on Harrison Avenue late next week. Once this pause takes place, all traffic controls will be removed for a few weeks until crews anticipate returning to complete Harrison Avenue construction, weather and other factors permitting.
The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) and Sletten Construction are rehabilitating seven bridges near Butte. This project will repair or replace the bridge decks (driving surface) and rehabilitate the bridge structures, and upgrade bridge rail and approach guardrail. Bridge work may also include a combination of expansion joint replacement and guard angle removal.
These bridges include:
- Interstate 15 (I-15) Exit 119 German Gulch Road
- I-15/Interstate 90 (I-90) Exit 126 Montana Street (north and southbound bridges)
- I-15/I-90 Exit 127 Harrison Avenue (north and southbound bridges)
- I-90 Burlington Street
- I-90 Exit 233 Homestake Pass Road
During construction, motorists should expect:
- Reduced speed limits.
- Intermittent lane closures.
- Flaggers or temporary signals to direct traffic.
