Highway 3B, opened in 1967, is an alternate loop to the Crowsnest Highway between Nancy Greene Lake and an area called Meadows, just west of Erie on the Crowsnest. Originally, Highway 3B went between Nancy Greene Lake to Trail, where the Crowsnest picked up the route to the Meadows area. Highway 3 was re-routed off the present-day Highway 3B alignment east of Trail in 1979.
[edit] Route details
Highway 3B's western terminus is at the Crowsnest Highway near Nancy Greene Lake. The route travels 45 km (28 mi) southeast to the village of Rossland, where Highway 22 merges onto Highway 3A. The two highways share the route for the next 10 km (6 mi) east to Trail, where Highway 22 diverges north. Highway 3B continues east for 7 km (4 mi) to its junction with Highway 22A, just west of the village of Montrose. Highway 3B then proceeds northeast for 23 km (14 mi), through the villages of Montrose and Fruitvale, to the location of Meadows, where it again meets up with the Crowsnest.
