Ahh ! The smell of hot asphalt.

After a winter like we haven’t seen in years it’s finally Spring. That means street repair work can begin. Bryan Hensel who heads up the street department for Missoula certainly has a lot of pothole repairs on his “to do list”. Now that the asphalt plants can fire back up due to less stringent air quality restrictions Hensel is putting his crews and a repair plan into action. His first priority was Russell St. from 4th, over the bridge and on to Broadway. The bridge is done and with luck they’ll get the rest of it done by 4/25 or  4/28. Then it’s on to Van Buren and after that South Avenue.
