The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) is partnering with KLJ Engineering to identify improvement options for the existing Vandalia Rest Area. The rest area is located on US Highway 2 (US 2) approximately 14.5 miles west of Glasgow. A public open house is scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 15, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Cottonwood Inn and Suites, 54250 US 2, Glasgow, Montana 59230.
The study presents an opportunity to enhance safety features, improve operations, and extend the service life of one of MDT’s oldest rest areas. The goal of the study is to evaluate the cost effectiveness of two potential improvement options:
Restoring the existing facility. Restoration of the current rest area would include improved amenities.
Converting it to a truck parking area. Conversion to a truck parking area would replace the current facility with vaulted toilets and a modified parking lot.
