News from Big Sky Public Relations on behalf of the Montana Department of Transportation

RONAN — This week, crews will be onsite Monday through Thursday, from 5 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., and Friday until midday. Work will pause for the Fourth of July starting Saturday, July 1, through Tuesday, July 4, to accommodate increased holiday traffic and to give workers time to spend with their families. Crews will return on Wednesday, July 5.

It is anticipated that there will be fewer traffic delays when traveling through the construction zone; however, flaggers will still be present at the truck turnarounds at Round Butte Road with Terrace Lake Road and Old US 93 with 3rd Ave.intersections.

Spring Creek Road Update: Work continues on the new approach to Lake Seed. Once the approach is complete, Spring Creek Road at US 93 will be permanently closed. The closure is expected to take place at the end of June.

Round Butte Road Mill & Fill-Ronan: Work continues on the Round Butte Road resurfacing project. The westbound lane is now paved and milling operations are underway on the eastbound lane. The project is anticipated to be completed early next week.

Remember the three Ss of work zone safety when traveling through the construction zone: speed, space, and stress.
