BYPASS CONCEPT
The currently proposed alignment for the bypass route has not changed since the August 2004 public meeting.

Starting at US 93, south of Kalispell, near the Gardner Trailer, Bypass heads west, curving northerly to follow along the abandoned Burlington Northern Road. The Bypass then crosses under Airport Road, curving northwesterly over Foys Lake Road and US 2, and continuing north crossing under Two Mile Drive, Three Mile Drive and Four Mile Drive (east of Stillwater Road).

The Bypass continues north until it crosses under a northeast/southwest power transmission line. The Bypass then parallels the transmission line back to US 93 at West Reserve Drive.

Access to the Bypass will be by six (6) grade-separated interchanges (at Airport Road, Foys Lake Road, US 2, Three Mile Drive, future Four Mile Drive and Reserve Loop), two at-grade intersections (at the north and south ends), one exit only ramp (at Sunnyside Drive) and an overpass at Two Mile Drive.
