DOWNTOWN DRAINAGE PROJECT: STREET CLOSURES BEGIN JUNE 23RD

Great Falls, Montana – The City of Great Falls contracted Capcon LLC to complete storm drain, water main, and street improvements in the downtown area. This project will affect 1st Ave S from 3rd St S to 5th St S, and 3rd St S from Central Ave to 2nd Ave S.

To reduce disruption, construction will be phased. Beginning Monday, June 23rd, 3rd St S will be closed from Central Ave to 2nd Ave S to allow for storm drain replacement across 1st Ave S. Additionally, 1st Ave S will be closed at 4th St S to detour traffic.

To minimize impact on the 4th of July parade, work along the 1st Ave S corridor will not begin until after July 4th. Capcon LLC will provide barricades and detour signage to help guide traffic during construction.

For more information, please contact Matt Proud or Bryan Guckeen with Capcon LLC at 406-899-1039.
