Gas tax funds not for forests block Western Montana roads
The Montana Attorney General ruled gasoline tax funds cannot pay for road construction within national forests. The Montana Highway Commission says several Western Montana projects including routes along the Yellowstone trail in Mineral County and the Roosevelt trail in Lincoln County will rely on forest highway funds, which are too small to finish needed work for years. Federal aid requires state funds, so some major projects on the Glacier National Park boundary and other routes face delays. next year $150,000 in forest highway funds will support resumed work on the Columbia Falls Glacier park highway.
