2026 Project Updates

After reviewing many different options and working closely with the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT), the City has identified a three-legged roundabout at the key intersection Dry Creek Road and Cruiser Lane as the best long-term solution.

This option:

• Improves safety by slowing traffic and reducing severe crashes
• Moves traffic more efficiently during peak hours
• Works better long-term than traffic signals or stop-controlled options
• Meets state requirements for future traffic growth

MDT reviewed all alternatives and confirmed in January 2025 that this is the only option that meets their standards and performs well through the year 2044.

Concept plans, Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) Report, Geotechnical Report, and Environment Reports have been added to the documents section of the project website.
