U.S. 95 work in Wilder begins Monday
CANYON COUNTY - Work on an 8.2-mile stretch of U.S. 95 from the south city limits of Wilder to the south city limits of Parma will begin Monday (May 21), the Idaho Transportation Department announced.
The speed limit will be reduced from 65 mph to 45 mph in work zone areas, and one lane of U.S. 95 will be reduced in Wilder and Parma as work progresses. Crews are working a Monday-Friday schedule from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
In two-lane sections, at least one lane will remain open at all times. In three- or four-lane segments, at least two lanes will remain open. Work on nights or weekends is not expected, but is not prohibited if needed.
This will be followed by a section of work expected to be constructed starting in mid-July 2012, and finishing in mid-August.
• 13.2 miles of U.S. 95, from Parma north city limits to Jct. I-84
• 1.6 miles of U.S. 20/26, from Snake River Bridge to Jct. U.S. 95
In all, about 23 miles of the route will be resurfaced and repaired. See map.
