What is the primary purpose of the safety improvement project on Old Highway 312?
The purpose of this safety project is to reduce the number and severity of crashes on Old Highway 312, northeast of Billings. The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) Safety Management Section identified four specific intersections that have less than desirable geometric layouts and have also shown a history of higher than average crash rates. Based on recorded crash data, it is proposed that MDT pursue a project to improve these intersections and reduce the number of crashes.

- Drury Lane/Pioneer Road
- Cline Road/Larimer Lane/McGirl Road
