State hosting virtual open house to address US 93 project north of Ronan

The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) invites the public to an open house to learn about the final design of the reconstruction of about 1.7 miles of U.S. Highway 93, just north of Ronan. The project begins at Round Butte Road and ends just past Spring Creek Road.

The open house will consist of two identical virtual presentations Nov. 15-16. The first is from noon to 5 to 6 p.m. Monday, Nov. 15. The second will take place from noon to 1 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 16. Email Laura.Langdon@kljeng.com or call 406-594-5775 to RSVP.

Proposed work includes widening the highway to four lanes, a new shared-use path that connects with the existing path to Pablo, the realignment of Third Avenue and Old Hwy 93 into one intersection with a traffic signal, and a closure of the Spring Creek Road intersection with US 93.

The open house will serve as a key opportunity to have a conversation about the upcoming work and answer questions from the community.
