Reconstruction on Airport Road south of Twin Falls began Monday
SHOSHONE - The first stage of a project to replace the Highline Canal Bridge on the Airport Road from 3500 North to the Twin Falls Airport began Monday, the Idaho Transportation Department announced.
Preliminary work consists of building an embankment on the road shoulder for the new bridge alignment. Work on the bridge will begin after irrigation water is turned off this fall.
Motorists should expect intermittent delays with brief lane closures.
This project is in conjunction with the Twin Falls Highway District. Stage 1 of this $2 million project is scheduled to be complete by June 2006. Idaho Sand & Gravel of Jerome is the project contractor.
