Billings, MT, October 22, 2026 —
Construction is underway on a roundabout at the intersection of Monad Road and South 36th Street West in Billings, Montana, with the project intended to improve safety after a fatal crash at the location in June.
Richard Miller, the foreman leading the work, has a personal connection to the intersection: his friend was killed there. The summary of the project does not provide the friend’s name or further details about the crash.
Work has brought detours, and some drivers are ignoring them, according to the information provided. Residents, however, believe the expected safety benefits outweigh the temporary inconvenience caused by construction and altered routes.
The roundabout is being built at the intersection where the fatal crash occurred, but no additional information was provided about the project’s design, construction schedule, cost, or the agency overseeing the work. The summary also does not specify how long detours are expected to remain in place or whether any enforcement measures have been taken in response to drivers bypassing them.
The reported goal is to improve safety at the intersection. No further details were provided about how the project is expected to affect traffic or what steps, if any, are planned after construction is complete.
