Construction of Overweight Vehicle Detour and Bridge Repairs in Missoula County

This project involves constructing a detour route for overweight vehicles around an existing bridge on the I-90 Frontage Road in Missoula County, which has a load restriction of 5 tons. While the bridge remains open to cars and small trucks during repairs, the detour will accommodate heavier vehicles to ensure continued transportation flow. The scope of work includes building an embankment with gravel, installing new guardrails, removing trees, and installing a drainage pipe. Additional tasks involve updating signage and revegetating all disturbed areas to restore the environment after construction activities are completed. The contract, issued by the Montana Department of Transportation under solicitation number EX124, is posted with a deadline for responses set for October 10, 2024. The project’s estimated value ranges from $500,000 to $1,500,000. It is a solicitation opportunity targeting contractors capable of managing infrastructure modifications and environmental restoration within Montana, with the work primarily focused in Missoula County.
