Link to August 26 Great Falls Tribune article.

Excerpt:
The $30 million project spanned the 33 blocks of Highway 2 within Havre's city limits. More than 280 businesses and residents have entrances to their property off the highway, making it the busiest road in town.

"The town was totally disrupted, totally torn apart," said Sam Weyers, the project manager for Nelcon Construction. "It was a complete rebuild — all new water and storm system, new landscaping, new sidewalks — everything."

The work meant diverted traffic, frustration for drivers and lost business dollars. But it also brought as many as 150 construction jobs to town. Now that it's complete, the town has a shiny facelift and a brand new water and sewer system.
