Early utility work on State Highway 75 in Ketchum will begin Monday, Oct. 7. Intermountain Gas and the City of Ketchum will be relocating utilities along SH-75 ahead of the Idaho Transportation Department’s project to improve SH-75 between Elkhorn Road and River Street. Roadway construction for the project is anticipated to begin early next year.
SH-75 will be closed in both directions from Serenade Lane to River Street. Traffic will be detoured through Serenade Lane and 2nd Avenue, similar to what has been in place for the downtown Ketchum construction. The utility work is anticipated to take four weeks to complete.
ITD has worked with many utility partners throughout the design process to prepare for construction on SH-75. Other utility work later this year will include the burying of power lines by Idaho Power. In addition, tree removal work is expected to begin soon in preparation for the roadway work.
“ITD appreciates the collaboration between agencies on this project,” ITD Project Manager Brock Dillé said. “More information about construction plans for this project will be available at our open house at the end of this month.”
ITD will be sharing final design plans for the project along with anticipated construction information at a final project open house. Community members can participate in-person at the Limelight Hotel on Oct. 29 from 4-7 p.m. or join online Oct. 29 – Nov. 12. Click here for details.
