摘要: |
In western Montana, the 56-mile stretch of U.S. Route 93 from Evaro to Polson is a rural 2-lane road considered to be a vital link between Interstate 90 and premier recreational sites at Flathead Lake and Glacier National Park. However, increased traffic volume, combined with an absence of passing and turning lanes and adequate shoulders, produced one of Montana's most dangerous roadways. This article provides an overview of a $120 million upgrade for the Evaro-to-Polson section of U.S. 93 that is expected to improve the highway's safety and performance significantly while minimizing environmental impacts and respecting Native American culture. |
