Skyway Drive Grand Opening This Thursday!
The City of Billings is thrilled to announce the upcoming ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Inner Belt Loop (IBL), also known as Skyway Drive, on Thursday, June 6th, 2024, at 2:00 PM. This significant infrastructure project represents a major occasion for the City of Billings.
The completion of Skyway Drive, connecting the Billings Heights to the West End, offers more than just enhanced connectivity. It symbolizes a pathway to the region's future economic development and investment opportunities. This new road is set to stimulate growth, attract businesses, and elevate the quality of life for generations to come.
With a focus on transportation safety, this five-mile stretch, accompanied by a multi-use trail, facilitates better commutes and promotes active transportation. It also prioritizes the well-being of residents and visitors. Whether you're commuting to work or enjoying a leisurely bike ride, Skyway Drive enhances the daily lives of our community members.
Skyway Drive stands as a testament to the power of grassroots community collaboration. This project would not have been possible without the unwavering dedication and generous support of countless individuals and groups. From elected officials to dedicated city staff, business and property owners to community organizations, the commitment of all stakeholders has been instrumental in securing the federal BUILD grant that accelerated this transformative project.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 6th will mark the official opening of Skyway Drive and celebrate the Billings spirit and the remarkable achievements made possible through generations of public and private commitment.
The City of Billings invites the community and beyond to join them in this celebration as they cut the ribbon.
