The price of crude oil on the global market has skyrocketed since last year and the higher cost of oil, gas and transportation nationwide is having an impact on local budgets and services.

MISOSULA, Mont. - Efforts to make floating the Clark Fork River easier and safer are delayed this upcoming summer.

The project, planned at the Sha-Ron fishing access site, will now begin next spring.

Missoula County on Tuesday approved several items related to the project, including a contract amendment with the city over the sharing of costs.

City and county planners are looking to get started on elements of the Mullan BUILD project – a job that’s been on the books now for several years.

The plan includes new connections to serve Lolo’s new school and to connect the east and west side under the railroad tracks.

Known as the Mullan BUILD project, the work will extend Mary Avenue and Goerge Elmer Drive to both Mullan Road and West Broadway.
