The department says that Custer is jammed due to schools, business, events, development and tourism.

“The Custer Avenue project is a really important project to Helena,” MDT Director Mike Tooley said. “It’s really complex and really expensive.”

Among the proposals brought to the open house were designs that replace intersections with roundabouts and a design that improves signaling as well as adding traffic lanes. MDT made it clear that these designs are not final and only exist to show possibilities and gain community feedback.

“It’s so much easier to show someone than try and explain it,” Sarah Knobel, of Big Sky Public Relations, said. “But I don’t think anybody would argue that Custer is congested.”
