US 93 N - post creek hill (IC) national highway 5, lake county, reconstruct the roadway from reference point 36.8 to 40.4

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Montana Department of Transportation $945,140 on July 28, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to fund incidental construction activities for roadway reconstruction on US Route 93 North in Lake County, Montana. The project reconstructs the existing roadway from reference point 36.8 to 40.4 and includes delivery of three primary infrastructure improvements: a new shared use path for pedestrians and bicyclists, a truck passing lane to enhance highway capacity and safety, and wildlife accommodations to support ecological connectivity along the corridor.

As a formula grant distributed through the Federal Highway Administration's statutory allocation mechanisms, this award reflects Montana's apportioned funding under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The project exemplifies the program's eligible activities for highway reconstruction, safety improvements, and multimodal transportation network development on public roads. The Montana Department of Transportation, as the state's primary transportation agency, administers the award and maintains oversight responsibility for design, construction, environmental compliance, and project delivery within applicable federal regulations.
