Boulder rest area proposal explained to citizens

Boulder residents had a chance to meet with officials from the Montana Department of Transportation June 20 and ask questions about the rest area proposed for the I-15 interchange. As proposed, the rest area would go into the northwest corner of the interchange, providing spaces for 25 trucks and 14 cars on about eight acres. 

Estimated cost on the construction would be $4.57 million, of which about $854,000 would come from local government, said engineer Loren Frazier, who did the feasibility study. One advantage of the chosen location, said Frazier, is that it sits up above town, making it easy for those who stop to see the town.
