Railroad Crossing Safety Enhancements and Intersection Improvements Project

This contract involves safety enhancements at a railroad crossing on MT-13 near the Macon community, focusing on improving visibility and safety measures through the installation of advanced vehicle warning flashers, signage, radar-activated flashers, and destination lighting at the crossing and six additional nearby intersections. The project aims to address safety concerns by upgrading existing infrastructure with varying treatments tailored to each site, including signs, flashers, and lighting systems. The locations include multiple intersections along MT-13, US-2, and other routes, with specific work at each site to enhance traffic control and safety. Additionally, the project includes improvements on Wolf Point Rodeo Road, such as installing luminaires for destination lighting, oversized stop signs, post-mounted flashers, and a new double-sided arrow to improve visibility and traffic management. The contract, issued by the Montana Department of Transportation, is valued between $500,000 and $1.5 million and is open for proposals until February 20, 2025. It is part of a broader effort to enhance roadway safety through targeted infrastructure upgrades across multiple sites in Montana.
