U.S. 93 paving project near Rogerson begins Monday
TWIN FALLS – A 15-mile roadway paving project on U.S. 93 in southern Twin Falls County is expected to begin on Monday (June 11), the Idaho Transportation Department announced. The project will continue throughout the summer.
Beginning Monday, drivers can expect delays as the construction crew begins to mill the existing roadway throughout the project limits. Paving activities are expected to begin in early July and extend through August. The full-width rehabilitation project begins at about milepost 5.5, where a similar project was completed in 2011, and extends north past Rogerson to near Deep Creek.
The project will remove cracking, rutting and potholes, restore the surface smoothness and increase the structural value of the section.
Drivers are urged to be cautious when approaching the work zone and to watch for flaggers. A pilot car will be used during work hours to guide traffic around the milling and paving operations. A 45-mph speed limit will be in effect through the work zone.
Knife River Corporation, of Boise, is the contractor for the $8.25 million roadway project.
The project is expected to be complete by the end of September.
