The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Montana Department of Transportation a Formula Grant of $3.7 million on May 7, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to reconstruct State Secondary Route 232 in Hill County, Montana. The project encompasses the reconstruction of 9.3 miles of existing roadway from reference point 0.7 to 10.0, delivering a comprehensive range of infrastructure improvements including grading, gravel base work, roadway widening, plant mix surfacing, cold milling, drainage installation, fencing, guardrail installation, and signing and striping activities.

This highway reconstruction project represents a significant infrastructure preservation and improvement effort within Montana's state highway system. As a Formula Grant administered through the FHWA's federal-aid highway program, the funding was allocated to the state based on statutory formulas established under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), allowing Montana to prioritize this project among eligible transportation infrastructure needs. The Montana Department of Transportation, as the state's primary transportation agency, is responsible for project execution, design approval, construction oversight, and compliance with applicable environmental and federal requirements.
