Montana DOT Proposes Resurfacing Project for U.S. Highway 13 East of Wolf Point

WOLF POINT - The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) would like to notify the public and seek comments on a proposal to resurface about 6 miles of Montana Highway 13 on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation, east of Wolf Point in Roosevelt County.

The project begins at the intersection with Montana Highway 25 (MT-25), which is located.5 miles north of the Missouri River Bridge at reference post 0.0, and extends north for 6.3 miles, ending near the intersection of Hillview Road.

Proposed work includes milling the existing surface, applying a new overlay, and finishing with a seal and cover (chip seal), shoulder, centerline, and transverse (cross lane) rumble strips at the intersections with MT-25 and U.S. Highway 2, upgraded pavement markings and signage.

The purpose of the project is to extend the life of the pavement and to reduce maintenance costs.

Typically, pavement preservation projects of this size and scope are advanced to construction as soon as possible, generally within two to three years. A target construction date will be determined upon completion of all project development activities and availability of funding.

No new right-of-way or utility relocations will be needed.

For more information, please contact Glendive District Administrator Shane Mintz at (406) 345-8212 or Project Design Engineer Megan Cail at (406) 4446230.
