Garryowen, MT – Drivers traveling along Interstate 90 in southeastern Montana are facing significant delays Friday as hazardous winter conditions have forced multiple lane closures near the Wyoming state line.
According to the Montana Highway Patrol, the closures stretch in both directions just south of Garryowen after several vehicles went off the roadway amid snow-covered and icy conditions. Authorities said the incidents occurred earlier today, prompting an active response from troopers and emergency crews working to clear the scene and assist stranded motorists.
Officials have not reported serious injuries at this time, but conditions remain dangerous as snow and reduced visibility continue to impact the corridor. The affected stretch of I-90 is a key route for regional travel and freight, increasing the potential for congestion as traffic is slowed or diverted.
Motorists are being urged to use caution, reduce speeds, and allow extra travel time if driving through the area. Troopers also recommend checking updated road conditions before heading out, as closures and restrictions may change throughout the day depending on weather and cleanup progress.
Winter driving hazards, including black ice and drifting snow, are believed to have contributed to the vehicles leaving the roadway. Crews continue working to reopen lanes safely, though no estimated time for full reopening has been provided.
Drivers are advised to carry emergency supplies and remain alert for changing conditions as winter weather continues to affect southeastern Montana roadways.
