MDT Proposes Major Rehabilitation And Widening Of East Holly Street In Sidney

Montana Department of Transportation Proposes Major Rehabilitation and Widening of East Holly Street in Sidney, MT. The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) would like to notify the public and seek comments on a proposal to rehabilitate and widen about 0.6 miles of East Holly Street, in Sidney. The project begins at the intersection with MT 200 (Central Ave.) at reference post 0.0 and extends east for 0.6 miles, ending just east of the intersection with 9th Ave. at reference post 0.6. Proposed work includes widening East Holly Street to include a center two-way left turn lane, curb and gutter, sidewalk, and storm drain, irrigation facility upgrades, realignment of County Road 351 with 9th Ave., new plant mix surfacing, upgraded pavement markings and signage. The purpose of the project is to rehabilitate the roadway in order to provide a safer section for road and pedestrian users and reduce maintenance costs. Construction is tentatively planned for 2018 or 2019, depending on completion of design and availability of funds. No new permanent right-of-way will be needed; however, relocation of utilities will be required. MDT staff will contact all potentially affected landowners prior to performing survey work on their land. Staff will again contact landowners prior to construction if any temporary construction permits are necessary. For more information, please contact Glendive District Administrator Shane Mintz at (406) 345-8212 or Project Design Engineer Steve Heidner at (406) 3458247.
