WHAT'S NEW

Updated Fall-2009

CURRENT ACTIVITY
  US 2 South is the next major segment identified for construction. This project plans to construct the interim two-lane Bypass between US 93 (south of Four Corners) to US 2, near Appleway Drive. The Interim project will build two-lanes of the future four-lane road. At-grade access at the future Siderius Commons, Airport and Foys Lake Roads will be provided through roundabouts. The project will relocate Corporate and Appleway Drives on US 2 to improve traffic flow. Traffic signals will be installed on US 93 and US 2. A new bikepath will be provided along the length of the Bypass. Construction may start in December, 2009.

  The US 2 North segment is entering the final design stage and continuing right-of-way acquisition. This interim project will continue the two-lane bypass from the signal with US 2 to US93 at W. Reserve Drive. As part of this project, Two Mile and Three Mile Drives will be reconstructed to cross above the Bypass on two new bridges. Reserve Drive will be widened to the east, between US 93 and the Stillwater River bridge while west of US 93; Reserve Drive will no longer connect to US 93. The Interim project will build two-lanes of the future four-lane road. At-grade access will be provided at Reserve Loop.

  Copies of the final re-evaluation document are available for review at the City of Kalispell Planning Department, the local MDT Kalispell office and on this web site.
