Project Overview

The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) will widen and reconstruct Interstate 90 (I 90) in Billings between the North 27th Street and Lockwood interchanges from two lanes to three. The project also includes reconstruction of the bridges over the Yellowstone River and the Talen Energy railroad spur line. Improvements are designed to enhance roadway safety, traffic operations, and future capacity needs. Other project features include two irrigation crossings, lighting, signage, and on/off ramp upgrades.

Funding

Montana's roads and bridges are mainly funded through a combination of federal (88.5%) and state/local (11.5%) funding sources. MDT receives no funding from Montana's general fund revenue. Federal road and bridge revenues are generated from the users of our highways, through gasoline and diesel fuel taxes and apportioned to states through federal highway legislation.
