This project provides for completion of the corridor study/environmental review for the
approximately 9.2 miles of Secondary 486, and final design for a portion of the approximately 9.2 mile corridor.
- This route provides access to the Glacier National Park, the Canadian border, U.S. Forest
Service lands, and approximately 85,000 acres of
private
property. If improved, this road would also improve and provide an alternate route for Glacier National Park visitors and a safer route for residents.
- The North Fork project is in Congressional District 1: Senator Max Baucus, Senator
Conrad Burns, and Representative Rick Hill.
