Change of survey urged for Butte Anaconda highway crossing
A new survey of the Butte and Anaconda concrete highway proposes easier grades and to avoid the Milwaukee crossing in a cut near Sliver Bow creek. The plan, cited by Marco J.

Funding and Deer Lodge county alignment remain unsettled, possibly requiring a temporary dirt road or delayed completion until bonds are voted.
