Livingston, Montana (December 9, 2020) - The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) would like to notify the public and seek comments on a proposal to reconstruct about 2.4 miles of Secondary Highway 575 (Pine Creek Road), 10 miles south of Livingston The project begins at the intersection of U.S. 89 and Pine Creek Road, and extends east for 2.4 miles ending at the intersection of East River Road.. Proposed reconstruction work includes removing the existing plant mix, regrading, widening the road, new culverts, new pavement and finishing with a seal and cover (chip seal), upgraded pavement marking, signage and guardrail will also be included. The purpose of the project is to reconstruct to current standards and to extend the service life of the roadway, provide additional skid resistance and take a cost-effective action to preserve and maintain the existing roadway. Construction is tentatively planned for 2023 depending on completion of design and availability of funds. New right-of-way and relocation of utilities will be required. MDT staff will contact all affected landowners prior to doing survey work on their land. Staff will again contact landowners prior to construction regarding property acquisition and temporary construction permits. An important part of properly planning for future projects is partnering with the community. The Montana Department of Transportation welcomes the public to provide ideas and comments on the proposed project. Comments may be submitted online at https://www.mdt.mt.gov/mdt/comment_form.shtml or in writing to Montana Department of Transportation, Butte office at PO Box 3068, Butte, MT 59702-3068.

Know that when you're dining in town this season you will likely experience a longer than normal wait time with limited options. On July 14th, four buildings were lost in a devastating fire, two of which were restaurants. The loss of the fire compounded with strained supply chains, staff shortages, record breaking visitation, and the spread of COVID-19 are all contributors to our stressed dining establishments. Our locals are doing their best to serve our community and visitors. We encourage you to pack your patience when enjoying our variety of excellent dining establishments in Gardiner this season and be gracious to our small community.

Please keep in mind that the following factors are effecting the daily schedule of restaurants:• Limited staffing• Supply chain disruptions/irregularities• Staff testing positive for COVID-19• Seasonal schedule adjustments

PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE HOURS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE ON A DAILY BASIS.
