MDT finishes roadwork in Lake County

LAKE COUNTY The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT), in partnership with Riverside Contracting Inc., has completed the Glover Road and US 93 Safety project. This pavement preservation and safety improvement project took place on and around US Highway 93 (US 93) and was completed in October. Safety enhancements occurred near Pablo on Glover Road, just west of US 93, and pavement preservation work occurred from just north of Ronan to north of Pablo, ending at the intersection of US 93 with Minesinger Trail.

Thank you to everyone involved in this project and to the traveling public. Bob Vosen, MDT Missoula District Administrator, said. Its been a busy year, and we are glad to have this work completed. Regular pavement preservation projects like this add to the life span of our roads and prevent the need for a larger and more extensive project.

Guardrail and signage were added to the curves on Glover Road at the canal crossing. A yellow flashing light was installed for eastbound vehicles to alert travelers of the roadway curves and canal bridge. These additions are intended to enhance roadway safety features that help prevent vehicles from going off the road.

Work north of Ronan along US 93 included a crack seal, seal and cover (chip seal) and a fog seal. Thin layers of asphalt were applied to the roadway and portions of the Minesinger shared-use path to add life and longevity to the existing pavement.

There was quite a bit of road construction between Kalispell and Missoula this year. We appreciate drivers patience as we worked to complete this preservation work, Cale Fisher of Riverside Contracting Inc. said. These improvements will greatly benefit everyone in the long run.
