BELLEVUE – The Idaho Transportation Department will begin pavement repairs on State Highway 75 through Bellevue from West Bluegrass Street to Kirtley Street Monday, weather permitting. Over the next three weeks, traffic will be reduced to a single in each direction Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Flaggers will also be present in various locations to stop traffic as needed.  

Drivers should expect intermittent delays and use extra caution through the construction area.. ITD will also  ensure that manhole covers and water valves through the section are level with the driving surface to create a smoother driving experience. 

These repairs were originally scheduled for last fall. However, ITD did not receive any bids from contractors to do the work and instead used maintenance forces to make the road surface suitable for winter conditions.
