Community Road Update: August 11-18

Important information about an upcoming Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) scrub seal project on Highway 64, scheduled to begin Monday, August 11, 2025.

The project will run from MM 3.80 near Lone Mountain Ranch westerly to the intersection of Sitting Bull Road (near Big Sky Resort) at MM 9.0, and while all work will take place above Big Sky Town Center, traffic impacts may still be experienced throughout the community.

Project Schedule & Traffic Impacts:

  • Monday, August 11: Minimal traffic impact expected. The contractor will clean the road surface and address cracking, starting near the fire station. This work should take one day.
  • Scrub Seal Application: Planned for Wednesday, August 13 or Monday, August 18 (depending on contractor schedule). This portion will take two days—one for the seal application and one for cleanup. The contractor will mark traffic lanes with reflective tabs.
  • Pavement Marking: MDT will repaint the project area the day after cleanup.

Traffic Control & Notifications:

  • Variable Message Signs (VMS boards) will provide advance warning.
  • The contractor will manage on-site traffic control.
  • MDT is coordinating with the Helena office to share updates via social media.

About the Work:
The scrub seal process helps extend the life of the pavement by sealing cracks, improving surface texture, and protecting against moisture penetration—ultimately leading to a smoother, safer driving surface.

Thank you for your patience and safe driving during this important maintenance work.

Wednesday, August 6 at Courtney Collins Fine Art from 5-7pm: Lane Timothy – LEGENDARY – Artist Reception

You’re invited!

Lane Timothy – LEGENDARY – Artist Reception – Wednesday, August 6th – 5 PM to 7 PM located at Courtney Collins Fine Art

Montana native Lane Timothy has been painting since he can remember. At only 16, Lane won the Charlie Russell National Art Scholarship which inspired him to delve into painting the American west.

Many years later, his unique talent of blending his signature contemporary art technique to western iconography has made him a favorite among collectors worldwide. Lane’s Vintage Americana pieces have graced multiple magazine covers and attracted gallery attention alike. He often takes time off to reflect, consuming emotion and recalling history to create his next authentic vision. His latest series is based on his roots, and culture of the west. Using large canvas layered with texture, oil and limited color, he creates modern realism with old soul.

LMNT to Open First-Ever Storefront in Big Sky Town Center

Electrolyte drink company LMNT has announced plans to open its first brick-and-mortar location—The Salt House—right here in Big Sky Town Center. Slated to open in spring 2026, the innovative wellness space will be located on Lone Peak Drive, next to The Rocks Tasting Room.

The Salt House is envisioned as a multifunctional space centered around hydration, education, and community. Plans include a self-serve salt bar featuring LMNT products, a library-style workspace with phone booths and communal tables, and an ADA-accessible exhibit exploring the science and history of salt. Designed by Lake Flato Architects, the space will incorporate natural materials and finishes inspired by the Montana landscape.

The new flagship location reflects LMNT’s growing connection to the region, with CEO James Murphy citing Big Sky’s high per-capita usage of LMNT products and the brand’s existing presence in the area. The project is being managed by Brown Bear Partners, with further company expansion also underway in Bozeman.

Stay tuned as we welcome LMNT’s exciting new addition to the Town Center community in 2026!
