Montana Department of Transportation Proposes Resurfacing Project on Secondary Highway 327 Through Bainville

The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) would like to notify the public and seek comments on a proposal to resurface about 0.65 miles of Secondary Highway 327 (Clinton Street and 5th Avenue), through the town of Bainville. The project begins at the intersection with U.S. Highway 2 at reference post 0.0 and extends south for 0.65 miles, ending on 5th Avenue approximately 0.1 miles east of the intersection of Clinton Street and 5th Avenue at reference post 0.65.

Proposed work includes a mill and overlay of the existing plant mix surfacing, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) sidewalk ramp enhancements at three intersections along the two-block segment between Rhea Avenue and Clark Avenue, and finishing with a seal and cover (chip seal), upgraded pavement marking and signage. The purpose of the project is to preserve and extend the life of the pavement, provide a safer, smoother roadway and reduce maintenance costs. No new right-of-way or utility relocations will be needed.

The project is tentatively scheduled for construction in 2018, depending on completion of all project development activities and availability of funding. This project will be tied with the Bainville - South project that will reconstruct the gravel portion of Secondary Highway 327 to the North Dakota border.
