The Idaho Transportation Department, in partnership with the city of Gooding, will host a public meeting on Monday, July 13, to share information about upcoming construction on State Highway 46 through Gooding.
The meeting will be held from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the City of Gooding Building, 308 5th Ave. W. Project staff will be available to provide information, discuss the construction schedule and answer questions.
On July 20, crews will begin work on sidewalks, curbs and gutter. Improvements will include:
- Upgrading ADA curb ramps from 1st Ave to 13th
- Removal and replacement of sidewalk, ADA curb ramps, and driveways on northbound SH-46 from the US 26/ SH 46 Jct. to Orchard Ave.
- Removal of the old concrete irrigation system on southbound SH-46 from 9th to 13th Ave.
Later this summer, on SH-46 from 1050 South Road to 1st Street, crews will remove a small amount of existing pavement, reshape the roadway base and repave with new asphalt.
Paving and sidewalk work is expected to be completed by early fall. A final sealcoat is anticipated to be completed next year.
Motorists are encouraged to attend the July 13 public meeting to find out how and when these efforts will affect traffic in Gooding. Updates can be found at the project website or 511.idaho.gov for updates.
