City starts street maintenance project this July on S 19th Ave from Main Street to Kagy Street

BOZEMAN – Orange cones will soon pop up on another stretch of 19th Avenue – this time on the south side of town. The City of Bozeman is starting work on a large street maintenance project this July on S 19th Avenue from Main Street to Kagy Street. Drivers can expect to see travel reduced to a single lane starting the week of July 7, with the majority of work wrapping up by early August.

The project will involve milling the road surface down and paving new asphalt, helping to address the deteriorating road surface.

“We have a limited window of time where the weather conditions allow for road construction, so it’s not uncommon to see lots of construction cones and multiple projects going on during the peak summer months,” Nicholas Ross, City of Bozeman Transportation & Engineering Director explained. “As residents drive around town, we ask them to stay patient, slow down in the work zone, and be aware of changing traffic patterns.”

In addition to the work on 19th Avenue, residents will also see asphalt work in the Brentwood Subdivision, Tracy Ave, and Wallace Ave, and utility work on 12th Ave, 13th Ave, 14th Ave, and S Black Ave. These projects will start in late July.
