Miles City, MT – Drivers traveling through eastern Montana are facing major disruptions today after a crash forced the complete closure of Interstate 94 westbound near Miles City.
According to the Montana Highway Patrol, troopers are responding to an unknown-injury crash caused by heavy wind gusts along I-94 westbound near Miles City. Authorities say all westbound lanes are currently blocked, and traffic is unable to pass through the area while emergency crews work to clear the scene.
The crash was reported earlier today, and officials have not yet confirmed whether anyone was injured. Strong winds have been impacting travel across portions of eastern Montana, increasing the risk for high-profile vehicles and difficult driving conditions on open stretches of highway.
The affected area is located in Custer County, near the city of Miles City, a key corridor for travelers moving through southeastern Montana. Motorists are being urged to avoid the area entirely and seek alternate routes until the roadway is reopened.
No estimated time for reopening has been provided. Troopers say the closure will remain in place until the scene is fully cleared and conditions are deemed safe for travel.
Drivers heading west on I-94 should monitor local traffic alerts, Montana 511, or official Montana Highway Patrol updates for the latest information. Those already in the area are advised to reduce speed, watch for emergency responders, and prepare for extended delays.
