Black Avenue Stormwater Improvements Project

This summer, the City of Bozeman will continue upgrades to the century-old storm drain system in the downtown area. The existing infrastructure along Black Avenue is significantly undersized and deteriorated, requiring full replacement.

The City has contracted CK May Excavating to remove and replace storm drain and sewer infrastructure along Black Avenue, from Main Street to Babcock Street.

Construction Schedule (estimated, dates and times can vary):

Week of 8/17:

• S Black Avenue will be closed from Main Street to Olive Street for milling and repaving through Thursday, 8/21. Main Street and Babcock Street will remain open.

Planned Work
