Public invited to view 100 South project plans Sept. 12 for US-93 near Jerome
SHOSHONE--The Idaho Transportation Department invites the public to view and comment on design plans for the widening and realignment of US-93 near Idaho Highway 25. This is another project to improve the corridor.
The 100 South Road project will extend planned widening of US-93 for approximately 2.3 miles through the ID-25 and 100 South Road intersections. Land purchases will be necessary to facilitate construction.
The public meeting will be held from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 12 at the Idaho Department of Fish and Game office located at 324 South 417 East near Jerome. ITD staff will be available to answer questions about the proposed design which will include:
· Reconstruct current lanes to serve as future northbound lanes
· Add two new southbound lanes west of the current alignment
· Construct a median to separate northbound and southbound lanes
· Widen the intersection and turn bays at ID-25 and 100 South Road
· Improve drainage
All designs for the project comply with the 2008 Environmental Assessment (EA) for the US-93/I-84 Interchange to ID-25 corridor, which received a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI). The final design stage of this project is expected to be complete by Fall 2019.
Construction for the 100 South Road project is scheduled for 2022. Additional corridor projects include the recently completed construction through 400 and 500 South Roads, construction through the 200 South Road intersection in 2019, and improvements through the 300 South Road intersection in 2024.
ITD will be accepting comments through September 26. For more information about the meeting or the project, please contact project manager Nathan Jerke at 208-886-7809 or by email at nathan.jerke@itd.idaho.gov.
