County Road and Bridge Maintenance
See a county road that has a pothole? Drop a pin on our interactive map to let us know. Have a more complex road issue you want addressed? Fill out a form to let us know.
Missoula County has approximately 1,500 miles of public roadway. The County’s Road and Bridge Department is responsible for maintaining approximately 447 miles of road as well as 465 bridges and culverts. Of these 447 miles, approximately 253 miles are paved and 190 are gravel. Road maintenance includes things like road repair, snow removal, right-of-way maintenance, paving, graveling, grading and dust abatement.
Though the County maintains 447 miles of road, funding to provide that maintenance is limited, which means staff prioritize roads based on the road’s traffic level and maintenance urgency (such as if the road or bridge poses a safety risk). Some maintenance can be performed relatively quickly, such as patching potholes in the summer and plowing roads in the winter. Other maintenance is more complex and takes time and funding, such as repaving a whole section of road or installing a culvert.
Drop a pin on the below map if you notice a pothole on a road that needs filling. County roads are outlined in red. Double check to make sure the road you’re dropping a pin on is marked as one of the red County roads. You only need to drop and submit a pin on a spot once. If you don’t see your pin at first, refresh your screen and zoom in on the spot where you dropped it, where you'll see your pin.
For all other road maintenance or for bridge maintenance, please fill out this form to let us know about it. This form helps us keep track of and prioritize road maintenance projects.

When dropping a pin, it's helpful to include an image with the pin if you can. This helps road crews identify the location and severity of the problem.

A note on plowing:
Missoula County Public Works road crews begin plowing roads outside city limits between 5 and 6 a.m. following a snowstorm, with the goal of having school bus routes cleared first. You can view plow routes at http://missoula.co/roadsdivision. Please keep in mind that while we are responsible for plowing roads throughout much of the county, the City of Missoula plows within city limits: https://www.ci.missoula.mt.us/558/snow-removal. The Montana Department of Transportation plows state and interstate highways: https://www.mdt.mt.gov/visionzero/roads/plowing-deicing.aspx.
