Contractor: TBD

CIP Reference: SIF157

Budget: $2,465,800

General Schedule: Final design documents in late 2025 with construction scheduled in Summer 2026.

Project Description:

The Fowler Avenue Connection project will connect Fowler Avenue from Oak Street to Huffine Lane in four phases of work. The four phases include the north section from Oak Street to Durston Road (FY26 and 27); the middle section from Durston Road to Babcock Street (FY27 and 28); the south section from Babcock Street to Huffine Lane (FY28); and the intersection of Huffine Lane and Fowler Avenue (not yet scheduled).

The intent of this project is to increase transportation choice, improve emergency service response, decrease vehicle miles traveled, and improve transportation efficiency and safety across the broader west side network. The project will enhance connectivity of the transportation system for all users. A robust and well-connected transportation system benefits city residents, businesses and visitors by improving social and economic mobility.

The project scope approved by the Bozeman City Commission includes one travel lane in each direction, separated shared use paths, traffic signalization at Babcock Street, and a round-a-bout at Durston Road.

General Schedule: May - October 2026

Project Description: 

This project consists of roadway improvements to McIlhattan Road to support the future development of the Bikefill Park.

Anticipated scope includes pavement construction, slope remediation, and stormwater management.

Project Manager: Taylor Lonsdale, taylor.lonsdale@bozemanmt.gov, (406)582-2280

Project Description: 

Construction will start on the intersection of Oak Street and Ferguson Avenue this June, adding left-turn lanes in all directions. The traffic signal will be updated to offer a dedicated left turn. Additionally, the intersection of Oak Street and Ryun Sun Way will be changed to right-in, right-out turning movements only. This work addresses several crashes that have occurred at the intersection, helping to improve safety for all who travel the area. 

The intersection is expected to stay open for most of the project, though travel will be reduced to a single lane to perform the work. Construction is anticipated to wrap up in the fall. 

This intersection was identified as needing improvements following a 2025 engineering study of intersections on Oak Street. It was added to the City’s Capital Improvements Plan for construction in 2026, at an estimated cost of $900,000. An additional project at Oak Street and Flanders Mill Road was identified and constructed in 2025, bringing the total investment on Oak Street to over $1 million in the past two years.
