LAKE COUNTY — The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) in partnership with Riverside Contracting will begin work on Glover Road and US Highway 93 (US 93) on Monday, May 15.
Guardrail and signage will be added to the curves on Glover Road at the canal crossing. A yellow flashing light will be installed for eastbound vehicles to alert travelers of the roadway curves and canal bridge. These additions are intended to enhance safety and help prevent vehicles from leaving the roadway. Traffic control on Glover Road will include drivers reduced to one-lane with controlled signals.
Pavement preservation work will occur and extends from just north of Ronan to north of Pablo, ending at the intersection of US 93 with Minesinger Trail. Crews will be setting up initial traffic control the week of May 15.
Ultimately, US 93 work will include crack sealing, chip sealing, and fog sealing. This means that additional thin layers of asphalt will be applied to the roadway and portions of the Minesinger shared-use path to add life and longevity to the existing pavement. Updated pavement markings and signage will also be installed.
Drivers can anticipate 10-15 minute delays when traveling through the work zone.
The project team will also be providing text message updates. Anyone can register for these announcements. To sign up for text updates, text GLOVERSAFETY to 41411. Message and data rates may apply.
