|---|---|---|---|---|
| February 2015 | Heavy Rain | Henderson | - | Heavy rain caused a rockslide on February 7th that closed the westbound lanes of I-90 west of St Regis, MT. Several hundred small rocks and boulders had to be cleared from the road surface. No accidents were reported. Westbound lanes were closed for 2 days as traffic was forced to divert to the north via MT Hwy 135 and MT Hwy 200, thus increasing travel distance. By the afternoon of Feb 9th, one lane, two-way traffic had been set-up, ending the interstate re-route. |
