SHOSHONE - Because extremely high winds may blow them over, empty trailers are discouraged on U.S. 93 from Jackpot, Nev., to Shoshone as a safety measure, the Idaho Transportation Department announced.
Idaho 50 and U.S. 93, at the Hansen and Perrine Bridges, have been closed today (Monday, March 17) as high winds cause vehicle crashes in the area.
Traffic is encouraged to use Idaho 46, between Wendell and Buhl, and Idaho 27 in Burley as alternate routes.
No
estimation is available for the reopening of the highways. Motorists
are encouraged to check the 511 traveler information system on their
computers or dial 5-1-1 on their phones for the latest information on
these and any other closures.
