MDT launched the US 2 / MT 16 TRED Study in January 2006 to examine whether four-lane highway improvements to the Montana segment of the Theodore Roosevelt Expressway are justified by economic, safety, regulatory, and other considerations. The study was completed April 2007. This page presents the final report of this work and its conclusions. Thank you for your interest.
