GLASGOW, Mont. – Two Bureau of Land Management road-maintenance projects in south Valley County, Montana, will soon begin construction, thanks to Great American Outdoor Act funding, officials with the BLM’s Glasgow Field Office announced, today. 

On or around June 10, contractors will begin to repair a 2022 washout on Cactus Flats Road, restoring public vehicle access to the north side of Willow Creek, weather permitting. 

Following that work, contractors will replace three large (48-60 inches in diameter) culverts at Triple Crossing Road that are nearing the end of their service life. 

Temporary on-site detours will be available during construction. Four-wheel drive pickup trucks may be needed for continued travel. Larger vehicles may access the area via Larb Creek Road to Ridge Road, to Willow Creek Road.

Triple Crossing Road is one of the main access routes connecting Willow Creek Road and Larb Creek Road. Proactively replacing these culverts will help maintain long‑term public access to hundreds of thousands of acres of BLM‑administered lands in south Valley County.

These projects are funded by the Great American Outdoors Act, which supports public access,  addresses deferred maintenance across public lands, and helps conserve our lands and waters. 

The total contract award is approximately $305,000, issued to Bishop Construction, a registered small business in Malta, Montana.

The Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA, Public Law 116-152) was signed into law on August 4, 2020. Learn more about GAOA projects happening on BLM-administered public lands.
