US EditionNew traffic signal planned for Missoula's Orange and Cregg intersection
- In mid-2025, Missoula will add a new traffic signal to improve safety at the heavily traveled junction of Orange Street and Cregg Lane close to McCormick Park.
- The decision was influenced by increased traffic linked to new projects near the former mill area and budget constraints that made a costlier roundabout unfeasible.
- Missoula City Council awarded a $477,000 construction bid to JAG Construction, expecting work to begin in mid-June and finish by September with minimal rush hour disruptions.
- Transportation engineer Ryan Guelff explained that a multi-lane roundabout would cost approximately $3 to $4 million, which exceeded secured funding, making the signal a cost-effective choice.
- Councilmember Mike Nugent mentioned that the project aims to improve safety at the increasingly busy intersection, where left turns across traffic frequently cause congestion and visibility problems.
