Overturned Excavator Closes Blacktail Road

Dillon, MT- Tuesday September 3, an overturned excavator closed a portion of the Blacktail road. The Driver of the truck hauling the excavator made the final turn on the black tail road heading towards Hwy 91 S. It appears the force of the turn may have caused the trailer to roll. The excavator came loose from the trailer and ended up in the ditch beside the road. The trailer rolled over and blocked part of the road. Crews are on site working to get the road open and the equipment moved. Traffic is being diverted at the head of the Blacktail Road.
