TRAFFIC ALERT: Winter weather conditions in East Idaho creates driving hazards on ID-33 and US-20
EAST IDAHO – Recent winter storms coupled with fluctuating temperatures, have caused potholes to develop along the roadway in Eastern Idaho. The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) is warning motorists to slow down and drive with caution on ID-33 from Sugar City to Newdale and on US-20 from Fall River through Ashton.
ITD crews
will be placing warning signs along the highways to caution drivers in those
areas. Speed limits will also be temporarily reduced to 45 mphuntil weather warms and crews are able to complete patching of the roadway.
With recent
storm systems that have moved through Idaho, plowing operations have been the
primary focus of the region.
ITD has a
project planned in the Idaho Transportation Investment Program that will see
ID-33 repaved within the next few years.
Individuals traveling in the area are encouraged to pay attention, slow down and drive with caution.
