WGM Group is assisting the Montana Department of Transportation to identify appropriate improvements to Montana Highway 200 where it intersects with Old Highway 10 and 1st Street in Bonner. Two alternatives are currently under consideration for the manner in which Old Highway 10 would be extended to intersect with First Street, and two options are also under consideration for how the new combined Old Highway 10 and First Street traffic would intersect with MT 200. A presentation of these alternatives was recently made to the Bonner Community Council. A copy of this presentation can be found by clicking here. Summary of comments and questions to follow shortly.
All over the nation, Montana, and here in Missoula folks want to learn more about LED lamps as a street lighting alternative. The Missoula Street Lighting Study, which WGM Group recently performed for the City of Missoula, addresses funding options for the operations and maintenance of the new lamps along North Higgins Avenue, scenarios for upgrading the remainder of the Missoula Downtown lighting system, and options for financing lighting upgrades. If you are interested in learning more about street lighting in downtown Missoula, click here for The Missoula Street Lighting Study Final Report.
As fall turns to winter, construction season has come to a
close. The Whitefish 2nd Street/US93 Project is up and running
for the winter. Spring construction will commence as soon as the weather turns, with plenty of time to be completed by the height of summer tourist season.
Other projects WGM Group saw completed this summer were:
- Milwaukee Trail
- Arthur Street Water Main Replacement
- 5th/6th/Arthur Intersection Improvements
- Silvertip Apartments
- 2011 Road Rehabilitation in Ravalli County
- Florence Sidewalk Project
- Daly Elementary School in Hamilton
- US Highway 93 Hamilton to Victor Project
On November 2nd WGM Group was honored by peers from the American Council of Engineering Companies for our contribution to design of the US-93 Lolo to Hamilton project. Implementation of this project required an extensive public involvement process and three different consultants, working collaboratively to design and construct the 45-mile corridor. A Citizen's Advisory Committee was organized to include Focus Groups for specific interests and sections. The design team and MDT met regularly with the public and the outcome of the 19-year collaboration is a highly unique design that respects the splendor of the area, addresses local needs, increases capacity, and improves safety on one of the most beautiful 45-mile stretches of the National Highway System.
