While Zimmerman Trail has reopened to all traffic after chip sealing and striping was completed, there's another project nearby that could slow traffic this week.
The Montana Department of Transportation have message boards off Rimrock Road and on Highway 3 that are letting travelers know Zimmerman Trail will be closed from Friday, June 7 until Thursday, June 13.
Don't forget that Zimmerman trail will be closed tomorrow, 11/27 between 9am and 4pm. A little painting then we should be good for a while. I think we should put a cuss jar at the top and bottom tomorrow.
If Zimmerman Trail is part of your daily commute it looks like you'll be taking the long way home until sometime during Thanksgiving week. Whether or not it happens that week is dependent upon weather, but that's the earliest it will open.
The Zimmerman construction project is on schedule for completion Nov.12. When the project is complete, I wish it would be a no pedestrians allowed road. There is too much traffic, cars and trucks, to provide a safe route for Joggers and bikers even with the new road...
The Zimmerman Trail closure continues because of the reconstruction.
While it is closed, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at what is being done.
Thanks to an inside source (my brother who is working on the project) I took a tour of the project today...
Don't forget Zimmerman construction starts Monday. There will be delays on highway 3 with slower speeds at that intersection. I know, put a quarter in the cuss jar and please move forward.
Zimmerman Trail is closed until November. The west Laurel Interchange is down to one lane in places.
And if you're traveling, you should download the Montana Department Of Transportation App. It shows all road construction, state wide; It also shows road incidents...
In case you haven't heard, Zimmerman Trail is now closed to vehicles through mid-November. Although, pedestrians and bike riders can still use it.
But, the part I like is now you can sign up to get updates on the project, Call 1-800-838-9844 or text "hwy3zimmerman" to 555888 and get updates...
