Snow, city updates, and board openings lead Bozeman’s Friday news
Bozeman, MT — February 6, 2026 — Snow and civic updates shape the day as I‑90 reopens, the city rolls out new programs, and county boards seek volunteers.
Winter travel disruption eases on Bozeman Pass
Travel through Bozeman Pass was heavily disrupted this week after winter conditions and stuck vehicles forced a full closure of Interstate 90 between Bozeman and Livingston. Some motorists were delayed for hours as crews worked to clear the roadway.
By late morning Friday, traffic began moving again as plows and emergency crews made progress. Authorities emphasized that conditions can still change quickly and urged drivers to check road reports and carry winter gear when traveling through the pass.
City shares updates on streets and community programs
The City of Bozeman released its weekly street report, outlining ongoing winter maintenance, plowing priorities, and short-term construction impacts across town. Residents can expect continued attention to icy intersections and residential streets as temperatures fluctuate.
The city also announced the launch of a new monthly podcast hosted by Mayor Joey Morrison. The program is designed to highlight major projects, policy discussions, and long-range planning efforts, offering residents another way to stay connected to local decision-making.
County boards seek community volunteers
Gallatin County is encouraging residents to apply for several open positions on advisory boards and committees. Current vacancies span a wide range of topics, including historic preservation, mental health, tourism, land use, and public safety.
County officials say board service is a practical way for residents to shape local policy and contribute professional expertise. Applications are being accepted now, with appointments expected in the coming weeks.
Looking ahead
With winter weather continuing to affect travel and infrastructure, local officials are asking residents to stay informed and patient. At the same time, new city initiatives and volunteer opportunities reflect an ongoing push to keep Bozeman engaged, accessible, and responsive as the community grows.
