This 3.6 km (2.2 mi) segment crosses the Crowsnest River and provides a viewing opportunity of Lundbreck Falls.
The second segment, 6.8 km (4.2 mi) in length, begins 21 km east of Fort Macleod, Alberta. Highway 3A splits to the north from Highway 3 and runs through the Hamlet of Monarch along the Canadian Pacific Railway tracks, before merging with Highway 23 and rejoining Highway 3 at apoint 19 km (12 mi) west of Lethbridge.
The third segment of Highway 3A provides access to west Lethbridge. It diverges from Highway 3 southeast of Coalhurst, in the form of a Y interchange running for only 650 m (2,130 ft) as Westside Drive in the County of Lethbridge to the city limit where the Highway 3A designation ends.
