Latest Update:

Roadwork continues on the Kalispell Bypass – Foys Lake Road Interchange project. The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) and LHC anticipate most of construction to be completed in 2021. Crews will return briefly in 2022 to complete chip sealing and painting. Updates to come on any scheduling shifts.

This week, the MDT and LHC are finishing work on the overpass walls. In the coming weeks, drivers will notice work taking place on the overpass roadway that cars will eventually be driving on.

LHC is also finishing up concrete pours on sidewalk and curbs throughout the work zone. Drivers will also see workers and equipment placing topsoil and completing work on the southbound on- and off-ramps. 

The detour is located in the same place as the past few weeks. Vehicles will be detoured to the northbound on- and off-ramps and the roundabout on the Meridian Road side of the project. Traffic will be shifted towards the beginning of October as construction progress. Updates will be communicated when this takes place.

Flaggers will be facilitating traffic through the work zone and speeds will be reduced. MDT encourages you to watch for signs, detours, flaggers, equipment, rough roadway, and other drivers. Account for 10-15 minutes of additional time when passing through the intersection.
