The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) and partner, LHC, Inc., will resume construction on the Stillwater River – North Pavement Preservation the week of June 3, dependent on weather and other factors. This project is located on US Highway 93 (US 93) in Flathead County, extending approximately two miles north of the intersection with West Reserve Drive.
Work will include a chip seal known as seal and cover. This is the placement of a new riding surface that consists of an application of oil - the seal, followed by the placement of a layer of small rocks – the chips. For the first 48 hours following the chip seal, traffic will be required to travel at no more than 35 mph.
Traffic control is in place. Motorists can expect reduced speeds to 35 mph and single-lane closures allowing one lane of traffic in each direction throughout construction. Please follow all posted signage and watch for workers and equipment in the project area. Cyclists and motorcyclists are encouraged to use extreme caution.
