Please see the attached exhibit from Dick Anderson regarding temporary traffic control that will need to be implemented on Town Center Ave over the next 6 weeks. Two lanes of traffic will be maintained; however, the road will narrow to accommodate the ability to operate a lift from the roadway.

The traffic control will be implemented for a total of 5 days, starting with the first day tomorrow, followed by 4 additional days spread out over the coming weeks. No traffic control will be completed on Wednesdays to avoid impacting the farmer’s market.

Community Road Update: June 23 – June 25

Beginning Tuesday, June 23, 2026, at 9:00 a.m., MDOT will perform an asphalt overlay project at the intersection of MT Highway 64 and US Highway 191. Work will extend approximately ¾ mile north of the junction, with pavement repairs occurring on both sides of the roadway.

MDOT anticipates the asphalt overlay project will take approximately two days to complete, with work expected to conclude by Thursday, June 25, 2026, weather permitting. MDOT will make every effort to minimize traffic impacts and appreciates the public’s patience and cooperation while this important maintenance work is completed.

Any questions regarding this work should be directed to MDOT.
