CURRENT ACTIVITY
  The Hutton Ranch Road Extension project is currently under construction. The Hutton Ranch Road Extension project will be an extension of existing Hutton Ranch Road and will construct a two-lane road that continues east then north behind the Mountain View Plaza retail complex to an intersection with West Reserve Drive just west of the bridge over the Stillwater River. Traffic signals will be installed at the Hutton Ranch Road intersection with the major access into Walmart and at the north terminus with West Reserve Drive. A new roundabout will be built to access the Flathead Valley Community College campus east of the new roadway.
  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. Three Mile Drive will be reconstructed to cross above the Bypass on a new bridge. 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.
