Miller Creek Road Improvements Project

 

Project Update

|
The Miller Creek Road Improvements project is on schedule, with right-of-way acquisition expected to wrap up this fall.  Utility relocation may begin as soon as this fall depending on when the right-of-way acquistion finishes.  Construction of road improvements will likely begin in the spring of 2009.

The City of Missoula has contracted with WGM Group for design and engineering services for the Miller Creek Road Improvements project.  Final design and utility coordination are currently in progress.  Additionally, the City has contracted with DJ&A to complete property appraisals and right-of-way acquisition.  Property appraisals are now complete, and negotiations with affected landowners are underway.

The City of Missoula plans to reconstruct Miller Creek Road from Briggs Street to Mockingbird Way, and approximately 500 feet west of the wye on Lower Miller Creek Road. The design includes sidewalks, boulevards, landscaping, curb and gutter, bike lanes, new pavement, and intersection improvements at Briggs and at the wye. The intersection improvements at the wye include a modern roundabout. Assuming a seven-month process for right-of-way acquisition, the project could be ready to bid in the fall of 2008, with a likely construction start in spring of 2009.
