State/Idaho 55 and State/Old Horseshoe Bend Road area of State Street restricted this weekend (June 12-15)
BOISE -- If you plan on attending Eagle Fun Days or are heading north out of town on Idaho 55 this weekend, the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) advises you to watch for road restrictions in the area between the junction of Idaho 55 and State Street, and the junction of Horseshoe Bend Road and State Street.
Starting Friday (June 12) at 7 p.m. and continuing through Monday (June 15) at 5:30 a.m., traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction along that stretch of State Street with flaggers on hand to guide traffic at the two intersections.
Motorists should be aware of the following temporary restrictions for the weekend:
- No left turns will be allowed on State Street between the two intersections, and no lefts will be allowed at times at the intersections themselves.
- At times, motorists southbound on Idaho 55 will need to turn west at the intersection with State Street, then make a U-turn just west of the intersection to proceed east on State.
- Motorists heading east on State wishing to turn north at the Idaho 55 and/or Old Horseshoe Bend Road intersections will proceed past the intersection, then make a U-turn to access either route.
This is part of the larger pavement rehabilitation project to repair and resurface from State Street at Idaho 55 to Glenwood Street, and Glenwood from State to Chinden Boulevard (U.S. 20/26).
Central Paving Co. Inc. Boise is the contractor on this $4.4 million project.
The project is expected to finish in early July.
