Bad route interchange - SW (CN & CE) multiple routes/counties, reconstruction of the existing roadway at various reference points

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Montana Department of Transportation a formula grant of $4,038,830.49 on May 12, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to support roadway reconstruction and infrastructure improvements across multiple routes and counties in Montana. The project, titled "Bad Route Interchange - SW (CN & CE) Multiple Routes/Counties," encompasses mill and overlay operations, rehabilitation or replacement of drainage structures in poor condition, median drainage improvements, bridge deck repairs, and installation of upgraded fencing, guardrails, and signage.

This formula grant award reflects the FHWA's commitment to supporting states in maintaining and improving highway infrastructure through the Federal-aid Highway Program. The Montana Department of Transportation, as the state's primary transportation agency and established recipient of federal highway funding, will oversee project execution across the designated locations. The reconstruction work aligns with the Highway Planning and Construction program's broad eligibility for highway preservation, safety enhancements, and infrastructure rehabilitation on public roads, consistent with the state's transportation priorities and federal funding allocations.
