State wraps up road work project on US 2 near Rose Crossing
Daily Inter-Lake | UPDATED 4 months, 1 week AGO
The Montana Department of Transportation and LHC Inc. have completed work on U.S. 2 between the Rose Crossing intersection and the Glacier Park International Airport.
In 2025, crews removed and replaced the pavement, applied a seal and cover and fog seal, upgraded curb ramps at the Rose Crossing intersection, completed electrical upgrades at the Rose Crossing and Birch Grove Road intersections, and added new shoulder rumble strips, pavement markings, signage and roadside delineators.
The Rose Crossing intersection sidewalks were also improved to Americans with Disabilities Act standards.
This year, crews performed bump grinding to smooth some sections of the road paved in 2025. This work took a few days to complete.
“We worked to minimize impacts to the traveling public throughout this project,” said Ryan Paulsen, Department of Transportation engineering project manager. “[The department] and our contracting partner LHC Inc. would like to thank the public for their patience during construction.”
The purpose of this project was to rehabilitate about 4 miles of U.S. 2. This corridor experiences significant daily traffic, which over time had worn down and formed grooves in the driving lanes. This project addressed that wear and tear on the road to extend its service life and provide a smoother driving surface.
