I-90 Bozeman Hill to Livingston - Closure on May 20, 2025
Effective 05/20/2025
A 30-minute closure of I-90 and the West Bozeman Hill Road / U.S. Highway 10 frontage road is necessary to complete controlled rock excavation operations. The closure is expected to take place on Tuesday, May 20 between 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. MDT is unable to provide the specific time the 30-minute closure will occur due to nearby train activity on the BNSF railroad. Plan for delays of up to 1 hour if you have time-sensitive travel during the closure window. If additional 30-minute closures are necessary to remove the rock, advance notice will be provided to the public.
