Union Pacific Railroad Bridge Replacement to begin next week in Gooding County
SHOSHONE--As early as Monday, February 18, US-30 west of Bliss to Interstate 84 will be closed while the Union Pacific Railroad Bridge undergoes replacement. Motorists traveling to Bliss via I-84 will need to use Exit 141.
Construction work will include installment of a new box culvert as well as utility relocation. The new bridge structure will have an increased width to allow for larger vehicles to pass. Approximately 1.5 miles of US-30 will also be reconstructed as part of this project.
Subject to weather conditions, work is expected to be complete this fall. The railroad will continue to be operational throughout construction.
Western Construction, Inc. from Boise is the contractor for this project.
