MDT is currently assessing the site and developing a scope of work for a future project.
Motorists are advised to use alternative routes, the closure will be in place until further notice . For updates please check MDT’s Travel Info site at mdt.mt.gov/travinfo/alerts.shtml [mdt.mt.gov] or like MDT’s Facebook page by searching @montanadot.
