One lane of Idaho 55 scheduled to reopen at 1 p.m. Wednesday (Sept. 5)
BOISE - One lane of Idaho 55 north of Horseshoe Bend is scheduled to reopen at 1 p.m. on Wednesday (Sept. 5) with pilot cars guiding vehicles, the Idaho Transportation Department announced.
Northbound vehicles and southbound vehicles, guided by the pilot cars, will take turns driving on the section of Idaho 55 that is north of Horseshoe Bend and just south of the Banks to Lowman route, which is Idaho 17.
Both lanes in that section of Idaho 55 closed Tuesday at about 12:30 p.m. because of the Chief Parrish Fire that is burning close to the highway.
The fire started at about 5 p.m. Monday evening. It had burned at least 2,500 acres as of Wednesday at noon.
No time has been set to reopen both lanes of Idaho 55.
