REMINDER: Bishop Road Bridge project southwest of Emmett for Farmers Co-op Canal to begin Monday (Jan. 4)
EMMETT - A project to build a detour over the Farmers Co-op canal on the east side of the existing bridge off Idaho State Highway 52 is expected to begin Monday (Jan. 4). A new bridge will then be constructed, with a new intersection at Bishop Road and Bishop and Bill Burns Road next to the canal, according to the Idaho Transportation Department.

The project is south of the intersection of Dewey and Bishop roads.

The traffic control during this project may include flaggers and intermittent minor delays, but at least one lane of traffic will be maintained at all times for drivers to travel through the work zone.

Once work has begun, the contractor must be done with work over the canal by March 15, 2010, and is expected to be completely finished - except re-seeding that fall - by early May.

Idaho Sand & Gravel of Nampa is the contractor on the $622,000 project. Gem County is the local sponsor, also participating financially in the project.
