The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) would like to invite the public to attend an open house for the “Airport Road and Main Street Intersection Design Project.”

The open house will be held in Billings on Tuesday, Feb. 19, from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. at the Billings Public Library Community Room (510 North Broadway). Project team members will be available at the open house to discuss the design of the project.

The project is entering into design of the recommended alternative from the “Airport Road and Main Street Intersection Concept Study,” which was completed by MDT in 2016. More information on the Concept Study can be found at: mdt.mt.gov/pubinvolve/blgairportmain.

Proposed work includes lane modifications, signal upgrades, median work and minor realignment of routes and approaches for Main Street from Lake Elmo Drive to 6th Avenue, Airport Road from Main Street to Aronson Avenue, and Aronson Avenue from Airport Road to Main Street.

The purpose of the project is to address the capacity and queuing issues, safety and mobility needs, signal upgrade needs, and other operational issues for all users within the project area.

The meeting is open to the public and attendance is encouraged.
