Summer storms can really mess with operations. Our neighboring state had a bad one!

Be safe out there!

Did you know that Montana law requires drivers to move over for stationary law enforcement, emergency medical, or work vehicles with flashing lights? Next time you see lights on the side of the highway or interstate, reduce your speed. If it’s safe to do so on a multi-lane roadway, move into the lane that is not next to the vehicle.

Great week at NLTAPA meetings in Louisville, Kentucky. FHWA Administrator Sean McMaster got stuck in Denver last night…(I hope I don’t have a similar fate) but spent a full session virtually addressing our centers about the priorities of FHWA and how our LTAPs and TTAPs can be more effective and maintain our relevance within the FHWA areas of focus.

I hope the highway worker is ok. I’ll post an update if I get one!

At our Regional NLTAPA meeting, getting updates and ideas from our peer centers and FHWA.

Not mentioning the DesMoines area is under a tornado warning….‼️ 😳

Grateful for the Phillips County crew and their dedication to good road grader practices! This was 50 miles of smooth gravel road in a near blizzard that I traveled several times last weekend. It had just been graded!
