Highway department plan examines access points on U.S. 93

The Montana Department of Transportation is seeking input on its access management plan for U.S. 93 from Kalispell through Whitefish.  

The department is holding two in-person open houses for the Kalispell-Whitefish Access Plan. The purpose of these events is to inform the community about access management options, explain the plan’s goals and objectives, and offer opportunities for public feedback, according to a release.  

The plan will inform the development of access points — entrances or exits such as driveways and intersections — on the highway for the corridor connecting Kalispell and extending west of Whitefish.
