NOXON AND PLAINS, Mont. — The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) is announcing and inviting the public to comment on a proposal that will resurface about 11 miles of Montana Highway 200 (MT 200), including about 4 miles west of Noxon and about 7 miles west of Plains.
The Noxon segment begins just east of the intersection with MT 56, commonly known as Bull River Road, and extends east, ending about 1 mile west of Noxon. The Plains segment begins near the intersection with Weeksville Road and extends east, ending at the intersection with Central Avenue in Plains.
Proposed work includes milling the existing surface, applying a new overlay and a seal and cover (chip seal), and upgrading pavement markings, signage, and guardrail. The purpose of the project is to extend the life of the highway.
Construction is tentatively planned for 2028, depending on completion of design and availability of funds. No new right-of-way or utility relocations will be needed.
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, Missoula office, PO Box 7039, Missoula, MT 59807-7039. Please note that comments are for project UPN 10832000.
The public is encouraged to contact Missoula District Project Development Engineer Joel Boucher at 406-544-5802 or Project Design Engineer Ben Nunnallee at 406-523-5846 with questions or comments about the project.
