BOZEMAN  — The City of Bozeman’s Department of Transportation & Engineering and Department of Utilities announce 12 capital projects totaling $26,315,882 coming in the 2025 construction season. These improvements focus on a shared commitment to renovating existing infrastructure while investing in new capacity to mitigate the demands from growth within the Gallatin Valley.

Utility renovation and replacements include 5,012’ of sewer main, 7,375’ of water main, and 1,236’ of storm main along eight different streets across three separate neighborhoods. Capacity projects will construct a sewer lift station and force main from the Riverside Community to the city Water Reclamation Facility for improved environmental quality by reducing nutrient impacts on the East Gallatin River and improvements to the city’s water infrastructure on its Sourdough Intake. City Streets Division will perform more than one mile of street paving associated with the utility improvements to reduce impact on the community and save taxpayer funds that would typically be spent on contractor services.

Transportation improvements include a mill & overlay of S 19th from Main Street to Kagy Boulevard in coordination with the ongoing Montana Department of Transportation mill & overlay of N 19th from Main Street to I-90 creating smooth pavement for over 3.5 miles of the busiest arterial street in southwest Montana. The city will also continue its “Friction Seal” treatment of local subdivision and downtown streets to reduce the impacts of traditional tar and chipping. Three safety projects will add a mid-block crosswalk on Oak Street near Gallatin High, construct permanent median restrictions at Oak Street and Flanders Mill following the city’s successful pilot project, and complete permanent construction of the city’s Black Avenue Bicycle Boulevard. Finally, new capacity to manage growth will include the connection of N 27th between Baxter and Cattail with a 2-lane Collector street, shared-use paths on both sides of the street, a traffic signal at Baxter Lane, and a roundabout at Cattail Street.

Project funding includes a mix of grants, Impact Fees paid by development, and city assessments for improvement to existing infrastructure.
