Traffic Control Update
Crews plan to remove the detour on North 5th Street by Wednesday, September 11. At that point, North 7th Street/Montana Highway 59 (MT 59) will reopen to through traffic and the truck route will be reestablished on North 7th Street for the remainder of construction. Please follow traffic control and all posted signage as paving continues.
PLEASE NOTE: When the detour is removed, North 5th Street will revert to a through street with uncontrolled intersections. Please use caution and remember to either yield to the driver who arrived first at the uncontrolled intersection or to the driver on your right if both drivers arrive at the same time.
Project Overview
MDT has partnered with Diamond J Construction to make improvements along North 7th Street/Montana Highway (59), in Miles City. Construction began at the intersection of North 7th Street/MT 59 with Main Street and will continue north for approximately 2 miles, ending just past Secondary Highway 489 (S 489), also known as Kinsey Road.
This project aims to rehabilitate the existing roadway, enhance safety features, and reduce maintenance costs. In addition to the roadway improvements, the city of Miles City is updating the water main, sewer line, and storm drain on the segment of roadway south of the Yellowstone River. This work is being completed in conjunction with the roadway improvements to minimize the impacts to the public.
Improvements include:
- Reconstruction of the roadway (south of the Yellowstone River bridge).
- Widening the shoulders and new plant mix surfacing (north of the bridge).
- New rumble strips (north of the bridge).
- Replacement of all non-compliant ADA ramps.
- Upgrades to existing sidewalks and ADA curb ramps.
- Upgraded pavement markings, signage, and guardrail.
- City utility improvements to the water main, sewer line, and stormwater management system (south of the bridge).
