traffic

If I were you I'd figure out an alternative route to using Montana Ave during your commute for the next few days or plan on about an extra 10 minutes to get where you're going.

According to Billings Public Works 6000-7000 vehicles pass along the trail every day when open but at the moment only local residents whose homes are near the lower portion are allowed anywhere near the area. Originally the plan was to reopen Zimmerman Trail on April 1st but more rocks slid of the rims onto the trail on Tuesday and an engineers assessment says that even the rock behind the portion

George Zimmerman -- yes the same Florida neighborhood watchman acquitted in the Trayvon Martin murder trial -- was pulled over for speeding on a highway near Dallas, Texas.

It is amazing to me that even if the weather warms up a bit, the wacky drivers come cruising out of the wood works in Billings!

Hey everybody!!! It is time for me to share one of my favorites with you. Every day I cruise the internet looking for whatever tune floats my boat at the moment! Today my favorite is Traffic. I would love to hear your suggestions, and who knows maybe I will post one of your favorites right here on The Hawk's website...

Expect shoulder and median work to continue at various locations on I-90 from the Laurel interchange to Pinehills interchange…Expect single lane traffic with reduced speeds throughout the area. Refurbishing operations continue on the skybridge that goes over North 29th St Street...

Motorist need to be aware of strong winds that will make travel difficult along I-90 from Reed Point to the Bozeman pass and along the foothills of the Beartooth and Absaroka mountains including the town of Nye through this evening…strong cross winds can especially make travel difficult for high profile vehicles and towing units.

If your planning on traveling over the next few days be prepared for periodic snow, occasional winds, bitter cold temperatures and dangerous wind chills…Some roads throughout the region are snow packed and slick. Make sure you take all the necessary precautions including traveling with that winter survival kit. In Billings all roads are snow covered and snow packed and are very slippery. Slow down

Here is a look at road conditions this Tuesday morning. In Billings all roads are either snow packed or partially snow packed and icy…expect icy and slick intersections this morning.

In Billings roads are mostly dry with some scattered areas of moisture…Remember we have some serious pot holes around the magic city so be on the look out for them….some are very large and deep and can really do some major damage to your vehicle.
