The reasons why Montana snowplow drivers have one of the most difficult jobs in the state make up a very long list. Not only does it take a special kind of person to do that job well, there are other factors this year making it even harder.

By late Monday morning, there were at least 2 dozen incidents on Montana highways that required Highway Patrol to be dispatched. Snow covered roads and low visibility guarantees there will be at least more slide-offs before days end.

Now, the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) is seeking to notify as well as receive public comments on a new proposal to widen Jackrabbit Lane.

The Beartooth Highway runs from Red Lodge to the Wyoming state line. You go over Beartooth Pass, which is 10,947 feet above sea level.

The Montana Department of Transportation awarded more than $143,000 in equipment grants for law enforcement jurisdictions to support Vision Zero, the initiative to eliminate deaths and serious injuries on Montana roads.

Business and land owners are concerned a new road project planned for Jackrabbit Lane could mess with their livelihood.The renovation will begin south of Four Corners and extend north of Hulbert Road, south of Belgrade.
