Ousel Falls Road – Striping Update
We were notified today by the Rural Improvement District (RID) administrator, Morrison-Maierle, that they have secured a new contractor and will be striping the Town Center portion of Ousel Falls this weekend (Friday through Sunday, June 27 – 29).

The original contractor experienced several delays and was unable to complete the work before July 1. We appreciate your patience as we worked with the RID administrator to ensure the striping was rescheduled and completed as soon as possible.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as these essential roadway improvements take place. Construction schedules are at the discretion of the Montana Department of Transportation and subject to change.
