Traffic delays expected on Highway 55 north of Horseshoe Bend Aug. 5–7

SH-55 near Horseshoe Bend

Drivers on State Highway 55 can expect short traffic delays north of Horseshoe Bend Aug. 5–7 as crews drill to collect roadway samples in preparation for a future pavement rehabilitation project.

Crews will be working at multiple locations within a one-mile stretch of the highway north of town. Each sample will take approximately one hour to collect, with single lane closures in place during that time. Flaggers will direct traffic through the work zones.

The road will remain open throughout the operation, but drivers should plan for brief delays and reduced speeds. The Idaho Transportation Department asks motorists to slow down in the work zone for the safety of travelers and work crews.
