Fall, winter, spring and road construction are Montana’s four seasons, many will tease. But summer is when the big projects must take place, so the rule of thumb is to plan for the commute to take longer.
At the end of next summer, the Montana Department of Transportation will unveil the completion of two bridge design projects.
The first one is about 10 miles west of Alberton which will be painting portions of the I-90 Elizabeth Bridge below the bridge deck (driving surface) to slow corrosion. This will be followed by the replacement of the I-90 Alberton Gorge Bridge including the pillars down to the Clark Fork River. Once completed it will have upgraded guardrails and a redesigned drainage system.
