Blue Lakes Boulevard work delayed to Wednesday (Dec. 10)
TWIN FALLS - Scheduled road maintenance on Blue Lakes Boulevard (U.S. 93) that will restrict traffic to two lanes has been delayed until Wednesday (Dec. 10) due to the weather, the Idaho Transportation Department announced.
Crews will be filling roadway cracks on Blue Lakes between Addison and Falls avenues from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Traffic will be open to one lane in each direction during working hours. Delays of five minutes can be expected. Drivers are urged to consider an alternate route.
Drivers are asked to use caution near workers and equipment and to follow all temporary traffic control devices.
Work scheduled to take place on U.S. 93 south of Rogerson has been cancelled due to the arrival of seasonal weather.
ITD and the Idaho State Police warn motorists to slow down and pay attention when driving in work zones, where increased speeding fines and other penalties apply. Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead and dial 5-1-1 or visit 511.idaho.gov for information on the state highway or interstate system.
