Hello there,
Please see information from MDT regarding Highway 93.
The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) and Riverside Contracting Inc. have a quick correction to last week’s update. Construction will begin at the end of June, weather permitting. Construction and lane closures will not start this week.
In approximately two weeks, drivers can expect immediate impacts to travel on US Hwy 93. In addition to utility work, crews will be shutting down the southbound lanes from the Frenchtown Frontage Road to the chain up area at the base of Evaro Hill. Drivers will be routed to the northbound (eastern) side of the road. There will be two-way traffic with one lane going in each direction.
Please reach out with any questions by calling the project hotline 406-207-4484.
Weekly project updates will be provided every Friday moving forward.
More information on the project can be found on MDT’s website: https://www.mdt.mt.gov/pubinvolve/desmet/

Lights -- Camera -- Action --- Frenchtown Middle/High School students were interviewed today. The Office of Public Instruction interviewed students on how Covid-19 has impacted the 2020-21 school year. We are Frenchtown!
The Youth Leadership Committee is visiting 7th and 8th grade classes today to teach Refusal Training. At some point, someone might offer a student alcohol, an e-cigarette, or other drugs. Refusal Training teaches students how to refuse substances through these four steps:
1) Refuse and be firm and confident.
2) Explain why you don't want to drink or use drugs.
3) Avoid situations that are hotspots for drugs or alcohol including parties and bonfires.
4) If you have a car, leave immediately. If you are in an uncomfortable situation and can't leave on your own, send an adult you trust your codeword. A codeword is a word (literally any word!) between you and an adult that tells the adult that you are uncomfortable and want to leave.
