MDT pausing pavement project in downtown Great Falls for winter
The Montana Department of Transportation and United Materials have paused work to resurface about three miles of roadway in five locations in urban Great Falls for the winter.
This project includes new pavement markings, signage, sidewalk and curb adjustments, and one Americans with Disabilities Act curb reconstruction.
MDT starting pavement, curb project in downtown
So far this fall, crews completed milling, paving, and sealing treatments on River Drive North and Park Drive North. They also reconstructed a curb at the southwest corner of Park Drive North and 6th Street North and installed an ADA curb where the River’s Edge Trail crosses River Drive North, according to MDT.
The remaining work, consisting of scrub sealing, will take place next spring at the following locations:
- Park Drive North / 2nd Street South from 1st Avenue North to the intersection of 2nd Avenue South and 2nd Street South, continuing south on 2nd Street South to 10th Avenue South
- 6th Street North from 8th Avenue North to River Drive North
- 3rd Avenue South from 2nd Street South to River Drive South
While work occurs, travelers should expect reduced speeds, single-lane closures, and intersection closures during the project. Specific sections may be temporarily closed, and travelers may need alternative routes, according to MDT, and the department will notify the public of any closures and the specific timelines for each section of work as they resume work in the spring.

MDT asks the public to watch for the “cone zone” and workers on the roadway.
“Crews spend their days working a short distance from moving vehicles, and while they make every effort to work safely, they count on you to pay attention, slow down, and be careful as you pass through a work zone,” according to MDT.
