MDT seeks comment on Chester-area project

Havre Daily News staff

Montana Department of Transportation is seeking public comment on a proposal to resurface a section of road between Chester and the Liberty County line.

The approximately 11.6 mile project, tentatively planned for 2021, would begin west of Chester at mile marker 321 and extend east to the county line at reference point 332.6.

The work would include crack seal, finishing with a seal and cover commonly called chip seal and upgraded pavement marking and signage. The intent of the improvements is to prevent future pavement deterioration, extend the live of the roadway, provide friction course and improve the safety of the roadway.

The MDT website says that partnering with the community is important to the planning process. During the comment period the public can provide ideas and comments on the proposed project. Comments can be sent to Montana Department of Transportation, Great Falls Office, PO Box 1359, Great Falls, MT 59403-1359, with a note that comments are for project UPN 9751000.

Comment can also be submitted online at mdt.mt.gov/mdt/comment_form.shtml, again, with a note that comments are for project UPN 9751000.
