MDT proposes an Interstate wrong-way signing upgrade project that is slated for four counties within the MDT Missoula District.

Missoula District- The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) would like to notify the public and seek comments on a proposal to upgrade Interstate off- ramp signing and pavement markings at all interchanges to reduce the potential for wrong-way entry onto the freeway facility within the MDT Missoula District.

The project is located on Interstate 90 within these counties: Mineral, Missoula, Granite, and Powell counties.

The purpose of the project is to improve the safety of the roadway for the travelling public.
