HELENA — The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) has announced a proposal to mill and overlay about 6.4 miles of Highway 12, east of Townsend.
The project begins at reference post 0.0 at the intersection of Front St. and Broadway in Townsend, and extends easterly for 6.4 miles ending 0.6 miles east of the intersection of Lower Deep Creek Rd, at reference post 6.4.
