Watch for traffic delays at Saddle Road Thursday
KETCHUM – Drivers are advised to watch for traffic delays and lane closures while crews work on the traffic signal at the intersection of Idaho 75 and Saddle Road during the day Thursday (Aug. 30), the Idaho Transportation Department announced.
Crews will be installing updated hardware and traffic detection cameras for the Idaho 75 portions of the intersection. The cameras are being installed in preparation for a roadway resurfacing project expected to begin in mid-September. The overhead detection cameras will replace the underground system of magnetic detection “loops,” which will be removed during the paving project.
The loops will be unaffected by the paving work and will remain in working condition for the Saddle Road portion of the intersection.
Drivers are urged to use caution through the intersection and watch for crew members and equipment from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursday.
