Montana’s deficient highways and bridges are a safety hazard and detrimental to economic vitality. That’s the conclusion of a report by The Road Information Group (TRIP), a national transportation group.
According to TRIP's report it will cost over $7 Billion to fix the to 20 road and bridge projects in Montana that the group identified as in need of fixing. At this time only just over $1 Billion is available from federal, state, and local sources.
TRIP held a rally at the front steps of Capitol Wednesday to call attention to the issue. Jackie Yamanaka of Yellowstone Public Radio reports.
