OpportunityBillings is financing a major water system project including design, engineering, and construction of a new water reservoir, water treatment plant, and related improvements. The System Project is estimated at about $155,000,000 and will be funded with Series 2026 and 2023A water revenue bonds plus city cash. With funding now structured, staff will be advancing design and construction packages, creating multi-year work for water engineering, construction, controls, and plant technology vendors.City of Billings · Jun 8, 2026$155,000,000OpportunityBillings and the MPO presented a 21st Street Underpass Feasibility Study to Council on June 15, 2026 outlining four alternatives from no-build to full bridge replacement. Concepts range from $600,000–$800,000 in minor safety/lighting/drainage work up to $26–$30 million for full replacement and 13.5 feet clearance, with complex stormwater, rail, and NEPA issues. Council, County, and the MPO Policy Coordinating Committee will act on the study in June–July, setting up future design, environmental, and construction contracts once a preferred alternative and funding path are chosen.City of Billings · Jun 15, 2026$30,000,000OpportunityThe City of Billings and the Yellowstone County Planning Board reviewed a planning-level study for improvements to the 21st Street Underpass, a key grade-separated rail crossing with clearance, drainage, safety, and pedestrian issues. Four alternatives were developed, from no-build to minor improvements with overheight warning to full bridge replacement and increased vertical clearance up to 13.5 feet. The study is for adoption into MPO plans and the City CIP and does not fund construction yet. This is a strong early signal for future design, engineering, and construction work once funding and a preferred alternative are set.Yellowstone County Planning Board · Jun 15, 2026$30,000,000OpportunityBillings and the MPO have completed a 21st Street Underpass Study outlining four improvement options from a $600k warning-system retrofit up to a $30M full bridge replacement with 13.5-foot clearance. Council is being briefed June 15, 2026 and will consider adoption June 22 before the MPO Policy Coordinating Committee acts in July. No option is chosen yet, but the study positions the project for CIP prioritization and future grant funding, creating a multi-year transportation capital opportunity.Yellowstone County Planning Board · Jun 15, 2026$30,000,000221 more pre-RFPs matched to you in a free digestGet matches free →
