SH-46 in Wendell to Close July 9–14 for Railroad Crossing Repairs
WENDELL— The Idaho Transportation Department and Eastern
Idaho Railroad will close State Highway 46 at the railroad crossing in Wendell
from 6:30 a.m. July 9 through 5 p.m. July 14 to repair the railroad crossing
surface.
The project will address the deteriorating railroad crossing surface. Contractors will remove and replace the existing damaged concrete panels, rehabilitate the base material beneath the crossing and repave the roadway approaches to the tracks.
Motorists are asked to use Interstate 84 and Exit 155 to access Main Street, plan ahead, and follow posted detour route signage.
