Central Montana Times

The City’s Public Works & Mobility Department has begun a milling and paving project on Brooks St. from Mount Ave. to Higgins Ave. on Monday, May 15, with completion expected around May 23, weather dependent. The project will require southbound traffic on Brooks St. to be detoured from 6:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. weekdays. The street will be fully open to traffic at all other times.

Traffic flow along Brooks St. during construction will be managed as follows:

• One lane of northbound traffic will be open on Brooks St. throughout construction.
• No on-street parking will be allowed during construction.
• Southbound traffic out of downtown will be detoured down S. 5th Ave. W. with a left-hand turn onto Orange St., continuing down Orange St./Stephens Ave. to Brooks St. 
• There will be intermittent detours at W. Beckwith St. E. when crews are milling and paving at the Brooks St. intersection.
• Mount Ave. is currently closed from Blaine St. to Crosby St. for a water main replacement project, which also includes detours around that construction area.
• Traffic on Higgins Ave. will not be affected by this project.

Drivers should proceed slowly and cautiously through the construction area because crews will be working on one side of Brooks St. while allowing northbound traffic on the other. We also ask drivers to be cautious and follow posted speed limits along the detour route.

A detour map and additional project details are available on the City’s website at http://www.ci.missoula.mt.us/2681/Street-Maintenance-Projects.
