Road Closure Information!!!
Montana Highway 1 (MT 1) will be closed over Flint Creek Pass near Georgetown Lake from Monday, October 10 through Friday, October 14. The closure will begin at 8 a.m. on Monday and the road is expected to reopen by 5 p.m. on Friday. This closure will allow MDT and Hi-Tech Rockfall Construction to remove large potentially hazardous rocks from the area.
What to expect during the closure:
The road will be closed day and night for five days.
There are no feasible detour routes around the construction work zone.
Motorists are encouraged to use Interstate 90 to travel between Philipsburg and Anaconda during the closure.
The week of October 3 crews will continue rock scaling work in the area. Temporary safety barriers will be relocated as crews prep for the upcoming five-day closure. Expect single-lane traffic with pilot cars during the day and delays up to 30 minutes.
MDT is coordinating with the Philipsburg School District and emergency responders throughout construction. Emergency responders and the school have plans developed to continue to provide services during the road closure.
What's next?
Following the five-day closure, work will resume as normal. The roadway will return to single-lane traffic with pilot cars during the day through the project area until completion of the project this fall.
