Rogers Pass Highway Could Complete After War Ends
State highway chief Howard W. Holmes says the Rogers Pass link from Great Falls to Missoula is ready for immediate construction once federal bans on new projects lift. Estimated cost to finish and standardize graveling and oiling is about 1.8 million dollars for the 165 miles, with gaps of 34 miles west and 15 miles east still to build through mountains and canyons. The route leaves state highway 20 at Simms, joins U S 10 at Bonner, and is already graded and surfaced to the Augusta road.
