Roads

I90 is now open between Livingston and Big Timber.

A popular stretch of I-90 through Montana closed earlier this morning because of bad road conditions. Reports state that several vehicles were off the road.

Interstate 90 was a parking lot. Traffic came to a complete stand-still many times due to crashes, pile ups, and slide offs. US 93 had dozens of it's own accidents. Montana is having a very rough week on the roads.

Mother nature had a nice tour of Montana over the past 24 hours, dropping a significant amount of snow from the Idaho border to the Dakotas. The Winter Storm Warning that was issued for the entirety of Montana marched across the state, wreaking havoc on travel...

The new beltway will run from Alkali Creek Road to Zimmerman Trail, providing easier access to and from the Heights and Billings West End.

Winter seemed to fly by, eh? In April, a few of the roads into Yellowstone National Park will open to vehicle traffic weather permitting, of course.

First off, is that bullet hole in the windshield, or did he just poke a hole through it so he could see better? Either way, the Montana Highway Patrol says "don't be this guy."

I posted this picture over the weekend on my own Facebook page. And I have several friends, who actually are surveyors and pilots. So, apparently, these are used by pilots and surveyors as part of their mapping. My favorite comment was "This is what Wiley Coyote painted on the road so, he could lure the Roadrunner here and drop an anvil on his head"...

San Francisco 49ers quarterback, Joe Montana has had a street named after him where Candlestick Park once stood. At the ceremony, he asked that they changed the name to "Montana-Clark Drive", in honor of Dwight Clark who made "The Catch" from the 1982 NFC Championship game...

I'm a damn good driver. Here are some spots that have almost caused me to screw up my near flawless driving record.

I'm no urban planner but there had to be a better plan for all this road construction than what we've been dealing with here in the downtown core the last week or so. Just today on my lunch hour I had to reroute to get myself some Pizza Pizza...

If I were you I'd figure out an alternative route to using Montana Ave during your commute for the next few days or plan on about an extra 10 minutes to get where you're going.
