Ringing Rocks Road temporarily closed during construction
BUTTE, Mont. – The Bureau of Land Management’s Butte Field Office is temporarily closing Ringing Rocks Road in Jefferson County to protect public safety while active construction occurs on the road.
The road will be closed to all public access between Aug. 25 to Sept. 25, 2025, from milepost 1.48 to milepost 4.32. Contractors will realign two segments of the road to reduce its grade, while the other segments will get improved road surface, shoulders, and drainage.
The road construction and associated closure are part of the BLM’s project to enhance safety and public access at the popular site this summer. In addition to road upgrades, the project includes expanded parking, trail construction, and new signage, all designed to improve the visitor experience while protecting the area’s unique natural features.
The project is expected to be complete in fall of 2025. The project area lies within the Pipestone Special Recreation Management Area and the Ringing Rocks Area of Critical Environmental Concern.
