December 12-16, 2022

Here’s what’s happening on Beartracks (Higgins Avenue) Bridge during the week of December 12.

Construction on the bridge’s surface is wrapping up for the season and all weight restrictions have been lifted.

This week, Sletten Construction will continue work under the bridge to remove concrete deck forms. Gusset plates are also anticipated to be replaced, depending on material delivery and favorable weather conditions. While crews are working under the bridge, traffic will be open to a single lane of southbound traffic. Northbound traffic will be routed to Madison Street. The west side shared-use path will be closed while the east side will remain open to pedestrians. This work is anticipated to last for two days.

As weather permits, roadway striping will take place. Striping activities require the roadway to be free of snow and ice and temperatures above freezing. In looking at our forecast, this work may be a few weeks out. However, if the glowing orange ball in the sky graces us with its presence, crews will jump on the opportunity to complete striping. When this happens, we will be sure to send an additional update.

Don’t Crowd the Plow!

While driving, be on the lookout for snowplows and give operators room to work. Many plows are hit by private vehicles each winter, with the potential to cause harm to all parties involved. The plow truck and operator are taken out of service immediately following an incident.

Drive safely this winter and keep these tips in mind:

Don’t pass a plow when the TowPlow is deployed. The operator will periodically rotate the TowPlow back in line with the truck to allow vehicles to pass.
Be aware that, where there is one plow working, others may be nearby. The snow cloud created by one plow may obscure presence of additional plows in adjacent lanes.
When approaching a snowplow from the rear, reduce speed immediately.
When approaching an oncoming plow, don’t crowd the centerline.
Be patient. Plow operators know where they can pull over to let vehicles pass, but remember, the road in front of the plow is likely not as clear as the road behind it.

MDT has tools to help plan for conditions so you can reach your destination safely. Find more plow safety information and winter driving tips on MDT's Vision Zero Winter Driving page. Current construction information, width restrictions, and road conditions throughout Montana can be found at 511mt.net.

Here’s what’s happening on Beartracks Bridge for the week of June 13.

We know the community is ready for the bridge construction to be finished. We feel the same way! Unforeseen circumstances and material shortages have delayed project completion, but Sletten crews are working hard to complete the work as material availability allows. The project team is looking forward to delivering a new and improved bridge to the community as quickly as possible.

As girder plates become available, crews are continuing with bridge repairs and deck forms. Once the repairs are completed, shear studs, the components that lock the girder into the concrete, will be installed. Rebar installation will be the final step before concrete work begins. This work and the construction timeline are material dependent.

There are over 73,000* miles of roads open to public travel in our state (including nearly 12,923 miles of MDT routes) that accommodate nearly 13 billion annual vehicle miles traveled (AVMT). Simply put, roads and roadways (including bridges) keep our great state connected and moving forward! The third Tuesday in June marks Good Roads Day – _designated by the Montana Legislature in 1947, whereby the people of the state are asked to contribute toward the improvement and safety of public highways (MCA 60-1-104). For MDT, building “good roads” takes time and means a continuous planning process that is underway long before ground is ever broken on a project. It can take eight years to complete a road project, but long-range planning starts anywhere from 1-20 years prior to the project start date. As transportation needs outpace revenue 3 to 1, MDT focuses on safety and preserving and maintaining transportation infrastructure as top priorities; in other words, keeping Montana’s good roads in good order. Join MDT in celebrating Good Roads Day on June 21, 2022, and share what #GoodRoads mean to you!

Seat Belts Save Lives! Buckle Up, Montana.

For many Montanans, Memorial Day weekend kicks off the start of summer travel, culminating with Labor Day weekend. Unfortunately, these summer months can also be some of the deadliest on Montana’s roads due to increased motor vehicle crashes. As part of a nationwide “Click It or Ticket” mobilization running from May 23 through June 5, 2022, law enforcement agencies and the Montana Highway Patrol (MHP) will be out to educate motorists and enforce Montana’s seat belt law statewide. Before you make plans to travel this Memorial Day weekend, commit to always buckle up before you go, and insist your friends and family do the same.

May 16-20, 2022

Here’s what’s happening on Beartracks Bridge for the week of May 16.

Sletten crews are adding repair plates to the east side bridge girders. Girders are large outside beams that distribute the load to the base of the bridge. Steel repair plates are bolted to the top of the beams to add strength and stability to areas that have deteriorated or need repair. Crews are meticulously removing old rivets from sections of the beam then using new galvanized bolts to secure the plate to the girder. Deck forms are also being added so the concrete bridge deck can be poured as soon as the repair work is complete. Remember, crews are not always visible from the roadway, but they are working hard to deliver a new and improved bridge.

Here’s what’s happening on Beartracks Bridge for the week of May 9.

Sletten Construction crews are moving forward with east-side girder repairs. Remember, girders are the large outside beams connected to the base of the bridge. The repairs require removal of old bolts, placement of repair plates, drilling guide holes, and attaching the plates with special galvanized bolts. This is meticulous work done by hand. Crews are harnessed to safety lines while completing much of this work on their hands and knees. As you drive over the bridge, you probably won’t see a lot of large equipment and dozens of workers, but crew members are present and working hard to complete this important project. Girder repairs are anticipated to continue for the next couple of weeks.

April 25-29, 2022

April 29 is National Arbor Day! Wood you believe the first arbor day was celebrated 150 years ago?

In honor of our leafy friends, please enjoy this special Arbor Day edition of the Higgins Avenue Bridge Rehabilitation update. I promise not to make it too sappy!

I know you’ve been pining for it, here is the update on Beartracks Bridge for the week of April 25.

The bridge is getting more spruced-up every day. Sletten Construction crews are continuing deck form work. They are also branching out and girder repairs have begun on the bridge’s east side.

If your travel root takes you across the bridge, please remember the three Ss of work zone safety: speed, space, and stress. Slow down when approaching work zones and follow posted speed limits. Leave adequate braking room between your vehicle and the one ahead of you. Keep your cool, pay attention, and plan for delays.

That’s it in a nutshell. We appreciate your patience while we complete this important project. I know puns aren’t always poplar, so I also appreciate your tolerance of my a-corny jokes. I’ll leaf you alone and let you get back to enjoying a beau-tree-ful April in Montana.

Crews are in the final stages of preparing for girder repairs, which will likely begin next week. These repairs will be happening on the east side of the bridge and will be the focus of next week’s work.

Girders are large beams that provide structural support to the bridge, so these must be repaired and rehabilitated to extend the bridge’s life. After these repairs take place, crews will begin adding the bridge deck.

April 11-15, 2022

April 11-15 is National Work Zone Awareness Week.

WORK ZONE FACTS

Most work zone crashes are caused by inattentive or distracted drivers.
Speeding, like driving too fast for conditions, is a leading cause of fatal work zone crashes.
More work zone crashes occurred in the daytime compared to nighttime.
Fatal crashes occurred more often during the months of May through September.
In work zone crashes, it is most often drivers or their passengers that are killed or injured.

Safety is MDT’s top priority. You can do your part by remembering to slow down when approaching work zones and follow posted speed limits. Leave adequate braking room between your vehicle and the one ahead of you. Keep your cool, pay attention, and plan for delays. Thank you for helping MDT and Sletten Construction ensure that everyone is safe in the work zone!

Here is what’s happening on Beartracks Bridge the week of April 11.

Things are taking shape on the east side of the bridge. Crews are building and reinforcing deck forms in preparation for adding the bridge deck. Deck forms act as a framework and support for the top portion of the bridge.

April 4-8, 2022

Here’s what is happening on Beartracks Bridge in Missoula the week of April 4.

Crews will be preparing for girder repairs on the east side of the bridge. Repairs to stringers and larger outside girders will take place in the coming weeks. Once completed, crews will prepare to add the bridge deck.

I bet you are wondering what stringers and girders are. What do they do? And what makes them different? Well, I am glad you asked!

Stringers are structural bridge supports that can be made of wood, concrete, or steel. These supports run parallel to each other to provide support for the bridge deck, or the surface cars drive on. In the photo below, you can see the exposed bridge stringers. They are the long steel beams running the length of the bridge inside the exterior framework, marked with a blue S. The stringers transfer the load to the diaphragm, those are the supports between the stringers. The load is then transferred from the diaphragm to the outside girders.

Bridge girders are also large beams that provide support to the bridge. In the photo below, the girders can be seen on the sides of the structure, marked with a red G. They are much larger than the stringers. The girders are the only things supported by the concrete substructure.

The repair and rehabilitation of these structural supports will ensure the life of the bridge extends for many years to come.

Remember the three S’s of work zone safety: speed, space, and stress. Slow down when approaching work zones and follow posted speed limits. Leave adequate braking room between your vehicle and the one ahead of you. Keep your cool, pay attention, and plan for delays.

October 4-7, 2021

Concrete work is progressing on Beartracks Bridge in Missoula.

An ultra high-performance concrete (UHPC) will be poured on the east side of the bridge during the latter part of the week of October 4. This specialized concrete develops to a strength of 25,000 pounds per square inch (psi) which is more than six times stronger than the 4,000 psi of standard concrete.

The UHPC requires stable conditions to set correctly. Vibrations from large or fast-moving vehicles while the concrete is hardening could cause the concrete to crack or set improperly. With that in mind, a five-ton weight restriction and a 15-mph speed limit will be in place on the bridge beginning Wednesday, October 6 and continuing through Sunday, October 10.

The five-ton weight limit is significantly lower than the previous restrictions. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with your vehicle's weight. The Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) can often be found on the door jamb or in the owner's manual. Most standard passenger vehicles weigh less than five tons and will qualify to drive on the bridge during the temporary restrictions.

Message boards will be in place at both ends of the bridge to inform drivers of the restrictions and indicate alternate routes.

The Montana Department of Transportation is now hosting monthly ZOOM meetings on the first Wednesday of the month at 12 p.m. The next meeting will be held on Wednesday, October 6. Those who would like to join, please view the information below. Registration is not required to attend the meetings.

September 27 - October 1, 2021

Concrete work is progressing on the east side of Beartracks Bridge in Missoula. Crews formed some curb and supports for the hand and guardrails last week; this work will continue into the week of September 27.

Installation of expansion joints and removal of deck forms will also take place. Expansion joints prevent the concrete from cracking, allowing it to expand and contract as weather conditions change.

The Beartracks Bridge temporary weight limit has been increased to 21 tons. The new weight restriction will remain in place until repairs to structural supports are completed. MDT is working with Sletten Construction to determine an appropriate repair schedule. All vehicles more than 21 tons will need to take alternate routes. Digital message boards have been replaced with hard-sided road signs to provide advance warning of the weight limit and indicate alternate routes for overweight vehicles.

September 20-24, 2021

Concrete work is progressing on the east side of Beartracks Bridge.

Crews will be forming curb and moment slab the week of September 20. Moment slab is the section of concrete that will support the bridge guardrail. Expansion joint installation will continue this week as well. Expansion joints prevent the concrete from cracking as it allows room for the concrete to expand and contract as weather conditions change.
