The Montana Department of Transportation would like to notify the public and seek comments on a
proposal to overlay National Highway Route 34/MT 16 in Sheridan County near Plentywood, MT. The

No new right-of-way will be required. The project is tentatively scheduled for construction in 2009,
depending on completion of all project development activities and availability of funding.

I like your website! I was born in Plentywood, lived in Medicine Lake but moved to Helena as a kid. My dad
was a school administrator at Medicine Lake and Helena. It is fun to read about what is happening in that
part of the country. I visit the Sheridan county link a lot. On the left side of the Sheridan County page there
are links in yellow, which are hard to read. I maintain several web pages so I know that some browsers
see things differently.

We changed the navigation bar so hopefully that will correct the problem. If anyone else is experiencing
similar or other navigation problems, or has a suggestion we can pass on, let us know. Thank You.
