Road maintenance at Paul junction will restrict traffic for two weeks beginning Monday (June 8)
PAUL - A repaving project at the junction of Idaho 25 and Idaho 27 in Paul will restrict traffic for two weeks, the Idaho Transportation Department announced.
The intersection will be reduced to one lane in each direction beginning Monday (June 8) as workers mill and repave the asphalt surface to eliminate rutting and poor pavement. The project is expected to be complete by June 19.
Lane restrictions will be in effect from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. A 15-minute delay can be expected. An alternate route should be considered during working hours.
Flaggers will be used to control the intersection during work hours. Motorists should use caution when driving in the work zone.
A 12-foot width restriction and a 53-foot length restriction will be in effect for all permitted over-legal loads while crews are working. Drivers are reminded to obey all temporary traffic control signs and flaggers. Use caution in the work zone and watch for crew members and equipment.
ITD and the Idaho State Police caution 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.
