Final paving continues for Livingston’s Park Street project

LIVINGSTON—Now that all the concrete work has been completed, crews working on Livingston’s Park Street project are now paving the final stretches of road that needed to be resurfaced.

Tom Etchart, Project Manager and spokesperson for Knife River Mountain Region office in Belgrade, said crews will be working at least one more day to complete the paving along Park Street from South B Street to Bennett Street. With this work going on, Etchart warns motorists to be aware of side street closures and one-lane traffic.

Out on the Frontage Road, Etchart said topsoil and gravel are done. Crews will work approximately one more day to finish paving the Frontage Road.

Next week, crews will also be working on approaches that tie to Park Street, which means the side streets will be temporarily closed.

Following the completion of this work, Etchart said they will conduct some miscellaneous clean up. After which, chipping is scheduled to take place around August 4^th and 5^th. This will complete the entire project.

Once again, motorists are urged to watch for flaggers and heavy equipment and be alert to temporary traffic control signs. Motorists are also asked to refrain from using cell phones in construction zones.

Weekly project updates will appear in the Livingston Enterprise and circulate to other news sources. Construction updates will also broadcast locally on portable radio frequency 1610 AM.
