Construction closes Exit 320 through Oct. 1 on northbound U.S. 20 in south Rigby
RIGBY ‑ Construction has closed Exit 320 on northbound U.S. 20 in south Rigby, the Idaho Transportation Department announced.
Workers closed Exit 320 on northbound U.S. 20 this morning.
Crews will resurface the U.S. 20 overpass north of the exit. Resurfacing improves the riding surface for drivers and prolongs the life of the bridge deck. The project is expected to be completed Oct. 1.
Both northbound and southbound motorists must access Rigby using Exit 322 in north Rigby.
The bridge over U.S. 20 is the last of six bridges in Jefferson County to be resurfaced this construction season. Bridges that have been resurfaced include:
- Idaho 48 Overpass on U.S. 20 in Rigby.
- Burgess Canal Bridge on U.S. 20. This bridge is approximately one quarter of a mile north of the south Rigby interchange, Exit 320, of U.S. 20 in Rigby.
- Burgess Canal Bridge on the U.S. 20 business loop. The bridge is approximately one fifth of a mile northwest of the south Rigby interchange, Exit 320, of U.S. 20 on the business loop in Rigby.
- Butte Market Lake Canal Bridge south of the Roberts exit (Exit 135) on the northbound lanes of I‑15.
- Butte Market Lake Canal Bridge on Idaho 48 in Roberts.
