Public invited to view preliminary design Thursday in Jerome for upcoming U.S. 93, 100 South intersection project
JEROME – The public is invited to review and comment on the preliminary design for alterations to U.S. 93 near the 200 South Road intersection on Thursday (Aug. 18) at an open-house meeting.
The open house will be held from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Jerome City Council Chambers at 100 East Avenue A in Jerome. Those interested may drop in anytime during the meeting to view preliminary designs, project illustrations and related information. Representatives from ITD and the design team will answer questions and gather input.
The preliminary design will follow concepts outlined in the 2008 Environmental Assessment for U.S. 93 between I-84 and Idaho 25. Projects will address safety needs at the intersection and will be part of corridor improvements to meet current and future needs for roadway capacity, commercial and private access, and increasing traffic volumes.
Specific improvements to U.S. 93 for this project include expanding the roadway to include two northbound, two southbound lanes and widened shoulders from one-half mile south of 100 South Road north to near Butte Road (milepost 59.5). The project design will also include widening and intersection improvements at Idaho 25 and 100 South.
The project is only funded through preliminary design and due to be complete in late 2016. Funding for construction of roadway improvements is not yet scheduled and is subject to statewide prioritization in future years.
For more information on the open house and the project, please contact Mike Scott, ITD project manager, at 208-886-7806 or mike.scott@itd.idaho.gov
