ITD to temporarily close section of US-20 tomorrow for snow removal
FAIRFIELD – In preparation of more snow in the region, the
Idaho Transportation Department will temporarily close U.S. Highway 20 from
Anderson Dam Road to Hill City tomorrow.
ITD crews will work to remove built-up snow and overhangs along
the highway to improve safety and allow for more effective plowing. To protect
workers and motorists, this stretch of US-20 will be closed from 11 a.m. to 5
p.m. during the snow removal effort.
"We understand this is an important route for many travelers,
and our goal is to keep it as safe as possible. Clearing this snow now will
make the highway safer for everyone, especially with more snowfall expected as
early as Thursday," Foreman Phil Etchart said.
Drivers should plan alternate routes and check 511.idaho.gov for the latest
road conditions before traveling.
