Project Facts

Key Number: 09483
Project Number: STP-3330(106)

The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) proposes to increase motorist safety by providing left turn bays for north- and south-bound traffic on Idaho 16.

Project Background

Idaho 16, between Emmett and the junction of Idaho 44, is an important corridor that connects Gem and Ada counties. The once rural area is changing from farms and orchards to subdivisions and businesses. Increased traffic is creating safety and congestion concerns.

Project Description

ITD plans to incorporate left turn bays of Idaho16 at MP 1.65. A 10´ box culvert exists within the projects limits and will be extended on both sides of Idaho 16 to allow for the lane addition. This project is proposed to begin in the summer of 2009.

Project Update

The concept report is in the final stage and is anticipated to be approved by January 1, 2008. The environmental clearance has been completed. No additional right-of-way will be needed to accommodate the left turn bays. Some relocation of utilities also may be required.
