Motorists can expect lane restrictions on State Highway 55 between the Idaho Oregon Nevada (ION) Junction and Hoskins Road beginning Monday (July 14). The Idaho Transportation Department will apply a protective sealcoat to seven miles of the highway surface to preserve and extend the life of the roadway.
Construction will begin at the ION Junction near Marsing and move towards Hoskins Road in Caldwell. All work is expected to be completed by mid-August.
Motorists can expect:
- SH-55 will be reduced to one lane with flaggers when crews are on site. All lanes will be open outside of working hours.
- All work will take place during daytime hours from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
- Speed limits will be reduced to 35 mph in the work zone.
- 12-foot width restrictions will be in place.
