THREE FORKS, Mont. - The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) is excited to announce the opening of the Headwaters Rest Area near Three Forks at 9 a.m. on Friday, April 5.

The new rest area is located on US Highway 287 (US 287) near the Interstate 90 (I-90) interchange. It includes modern design features, safety enhancements, and a Law Enforcement Office that will be available for use by the Broadwater County Sheriff, Montana Highway Patrol (MHP), and MDT Motor Carrier Services (MCS).

"MDT appreciates the public's patience as this project took longer than expected," said MDT Interim Director Larry Flynn. "This has been a long process. We look forward to opening the Headwaters Rest Area to better serve the needs of the traveling public."

The public is encouraged to contact acting Public Information Officer Kim Vietz at 406-444-6821 with questions or comments about the project.
