US 191 enters the intersection from the south and turns east, Highway 84 heads west, and Highway 85 starts heading north. The highway is entirely straight from beginning to end. The southern three quarters of the route are along a two-lane highway. Once it reaches Belgrade, it expands to a four-lane road with a center turning lane. The route ends at a partial cloverleaf interchange with I-90 in Belgrade. The road continues north as Jackrabbit Lane, its street name in Belgrade.[2]
