BOZEMAN, Mont. – The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT), the City of Bozeman, and project partners CK May Excavating and DJ&A will host an open house on Wednesday, November 18, to share information about the upcoming reconstruction of West Kagy Boulevard between South 19th Avenue and South Willson Avenue, with improvements extending to South Tracy Avenue.

Initial work, including utility relocations, is tentatively scheduled to begin in late 2026. Construction is scheduled to begin in spring 2027. Minimal traffic disruption is anticipated until roadwork begins in spring 2027. All work is dependent on design completion, weather, and unforeseen factors.
“As we prepare for construction, we want the community to have a clear understanding of the project and what’s coming next,” said Josh McKenzie, Project Manager at CK May Excavating. “We encourage people to stop by the open house, talk with the project team, and ask questions about the upcoming work.”
The project will reconstruct West Kagy Boulevard with two travel lanes in each direction, a center median, and dedicated turning lanes. Improvements will include new Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant crossing facilities, including two pedestrian tunnels beneath West Kagy Boulevard, as well as updated traffic signals at South Willson Avenue.
Two multi-lane roundabouts will be constructed at the South 11th Avenue and South 7th Avenue intersections. The project will also add separated shared-use paths on both sides of Kagy Boulevard, providing dedicated space for people walking and biking. Additional improvements include landscaping, street lighting, and upgrades to the stormwater drainage system.
Project updates will be shared throughout construction by email and on the project webpage. To subscribe to email updates or ask questions, email Sloane at sloane@bigskypublicrelations.com.
