Proposed Left-turn Lane at US 12/US 287 and Beaver Creek Road Intersection

WINSTON, Mont. — The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) is announcing and inviting the public to comment on a proposal that will widen about 1 mile of US Highway 12 (US 12)/US Highway 287 (US 287) in Winston to install left-turn lanes at the intersection with Beaver Creek Road.
Proposed work includes widening the roadway to install northbound and southbound left-turn lanes, applying a seal and cover (chip seal), and installing upgraded pavement markings and signage. Some culvert work will also be included. The purpose of the project is to enhance roadway safety features by addressing left-turn related crashes at the Beaver Creek Road intersection.
Construction will be scheduled depending on completion of design and availability of funding. Right-of-way acquisition or temporary construction permits will likely be required for this project. Relocation of utilities may also be necessary. MDT staff will contact affected landowners prior to survey work. Landowners may be contacted again prior to construction regarding temporary permits.
Partnering with the community is an important part of properly planning for future projects. MDT welcomes the public to provide ideas and comments on the proposed project. Comments may be submitted online at mdt.mt.gov/contact/comment-form.aspx or in writing to Montana Department of Transportation, Butte office, PO Box 3068, Butte, MT 59702-3068. Please note that comments are for project UPN 10292000.
The public is encouraged to contact Butte District Preconstruction Engineer Brandon Jones at 406-494-9622 or Project Engineer David Relph at 406-444-1280 with questions or comments about the project.
