Episode Synopsis

Good morning, this is your Bozeman Local Frequency for Tuesday, May 20th, 2025.Let’s start with traffic reminders for anyone heading out today. Expect some major delays on Interstate 90 near Bozeman Pass as the Montana Department of Transportation crews kick off rock removal operations. There’s a planned 30-minute full closure of I-90 and the West Bozeman Hill Road sometime between 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. While MDT says the rock work should happen between noon and two, the exact timing depends on nearby train activity. You’re advised to plan for potential delays up to an hour, so if you need to get across the pass, allow yourself some extra time or consider alternate routes. Even once the rocks are cleared, I-90 will stay a single lane in each direction for a while, with reduced speed limits and width restrictions still in place[4].Shifting gears, let’s talk about what’s happening around town. Tonight, the city commission will meet to discuss a proposed new boutique hotel downtown, a sign that Bozeman’s growth and development continue at full tilt. This could bring fresh options for visitors and a boost to local business, so keep an ear out for decisions coming out of that meeting later this evening. Over at Gallatin High School, students are getting hands-on with career exploration activities, highlighting the community's ongoing investment in youth and workforce development[5].For those looking to get out and about today, check out the Out SM event at the Gallatin County offices running from 11 in the morning to 12:30. If you’re interested in the arts, “No Winter’s Tale” hits the Emerson Ballroom stage tonight at 7:30, offering a unique local theater experience—and a perfect excuse to enjoy an evening out with friends or family[2][3].Finally, community developments worth noting: The Homeward Point homeless shelter is nearing completion, a key step in addressing local housing needs. And on the sports front, Montana State athletes have been turning in outstanding performances, bringing pride to Bozeman and the wider Montana State community[5].That’s your roundup for today—construction delays, community progress, local arts, and a look at the people who make Bozeman what it is.
