The Federal Aviation Administration awarded Montana Department of Transportation a $102,254.74 Project Grant under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on August 22, 2025, for pavement preservation work at a nonprimary airport in the Lincoln, Montana area. The grant funds a portion of four complementary runway, taxiway, apron, and taxilane reseal and resurfacing projects designed to extend the useful life of existing paved airport infrastructure. Specifically, the project encompasses resealing 2,560 linear feet of taxiway pavement and joints, 4,240 linear feet of Runway 4/22 pavement and joints, 9,840 square yards of apron pavement and joints, and 954 linear feet of taxilane pavement and joints. This grant is paired with an associated Airport Improvement Program grant that funds the remaining eligible project costs.

The project completion period extends through August 21, 2029, providing a four-year timeframe for design, construction, and project closeout activities typical of Airport Improvement Program awards. As the state transportation department responsible for managing Montana's comprehensive transportation infrastructure system, Montana Department of Transportation serves as the grant recipient and will oversee project execution, compliance, and reporting requirements under the Federal Aviation Administration's oversight.
