Project Overview

The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT), LHC Inc., and Knife River are improving roughly 19 miles of Montana Highway 83 (MT 83) near Swan Lake. This project has a north segment and a south segment, and will include new pavement overlay, seal and cover, lane striping, signage, guardrails, bridge work at Lion Creek, and quieter rumble strips. Some intermittent problems areas north of Swan Lake will receive a deeper repair to prolong and preserve the durability of existing pavement and provide a smoother ride for drivers.
