Public open house Tuesday in Burley for U.S. 30 project
BURLEY – The public is invited to review and comment on proposed changes to a 3.75-mile section of U.S. 30 west of Burley at an open house Tuesday (April 4). The preliminary plans for a widening and reconstruction project between 400 West Road and Parke Avenue will be presented during the open house meeting.
The meeting will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Burley City Hall in Council Chambers, at 1401 Overland Avenue.
ITD has hired Keller Associates Inc., of Meridian, to complete engineering services and design of the new roadway, which is expected to be complete in 2017. Construction is funded in 2019.
Improvements to the roadway include two through lanes in each direction for the entire length of the project, turn bays at public roadways, widened shoulders, reconstruction of affected irrigation structures, reconstruction of business and private access locations, and roadway lighting at identified locations. A traffic signal at the Washington Street/Bedke Boulevard intersection is also included.
This project will improve roadway safety for vehicles, pedestrians and alternate transportation, increase efficient movement of goods and services, and minimize impact to adjacent properties.
ITD is collecting public comments for consideration prior to the final stage of design. Written comments will be accepted at the meeting and may be submitted through April 14. Comments can be mailed in attention of Nathan Jerke to ITD's District 4 Office, 216 South Date, Shoshone, ID 83352 or emailed to nathan.jerke@itd.idaho.gov.
