Construction on U.S. 20 in Island Park to start Monday
RIGBY - Construction on U.S. 20 in Island Park will start Monday (July 9), the Idaho Transportation Department announced. The project is scheduled for completion in late August.
Crews will resurface eight miles of U.S. 20 between Sheep Falls Road and Pine Haven Drive in Island Park.
Travel will be reduced to one lane, with flaggers directing traffic through the work zone. Motorists can expect delays.
Commercial transporters hauling loads wider than 14 feet need to contact Resident Engineer Matt Davison (208-745-5686) 24 hours in advance for special authorization to travel through the construction zone.
Drivers should watch for construction workers, equipment and obey all traffic signs.
The transportation department awarded the $4.4-million contract to Western Construction Inc., of Boise.
