Road work, delays at junction of Idaho 75 and U.S. 93/U.S. 26 in Shoshone
SHOSHONE - Drivers are advised to expect delays through Shoshone on Thursday (Aug. 26) as crews repair asphalt at the junction of U.S. 93/U.S. 26 and Idaho 75 near the railroad crossing, the Idaho Transportation Department announced.
State forces will begin milling the roadway before completing an overlay paving operation north of the railroad crossing and through the intersection. Flaggers will guide motorists near the intersection that merges traffic from U.S. 26, U.S. 93 and Idaho 75.
Delays of as much as 15 minutes can be expected, from 6 a.m. through 9 p.m. Restrictions for permitted over-sized loads will be set at a 12-foot width limit and 100-foot length limit.
Drivers are encouraged to be patient and use caution when driving through the work zone.
