Public invited to share input on plans to connect US-20 and US-26 in Idaho Falls
RIGBY- The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) is hosting a public meeting May 16 in the Commons Area at Bonneville High School, 3165 E. Iona Rd. ITD plans to design and construct a connector road between US-20 and US-26 to reduce congestion in Bonneville County and will share draft alternatives at the meeting.
The meeting will be held in an open house format so the public can stop by anytime between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. to view information, talk to ITD staff and submit written comments.
The goal of the project is to provide the traveling public access between these highways and increase mobility in the area and region. Connecting the two highways will provide more convenient access to motorists without having to impact the local road network.
The meeting will provide an opportunity for the public to view displays and give input on potential alternatives.
For those who can’t make the meeting in person, meeting displays will be posted on the project website https://itdprojects.org/projects/us-20-26-connector on Wednesday, May 17. The website includes a comment form for those who prefer to submit comments electronically.
