Montana Highway 69


Montana Highway 69 is a route running northerly from an intersection with MT 55 in the community of Whitehall. The highway extends approximately to an intersection with Interstate 15 at the northern edge of the town of Boulder. Most of the route follows the Boulder River valley, a scenic and relatively unspoiled rural landscape.

Route description

It reaches an intersection with Wilson Park Road before continuing northward, and intersecting Dunn Canyon Road.

Through a scenic and rural area, MT 69 proceeds north as South Main Street as it enters Boulder. MT 69 ends at I-15, at Boulder.

History

The southerly six miles of the current MT 69 follows a former alignment of U.S. Route 10 and parallels Interstate 90; the U.S. 10 designation was deleted in Montana after the completion of the interstate. The remainder of MT 69 was formerly designated as Secondary Highway 281.
