Construction on US-26 from the INL puzzle will begin Monday
BLACKFOOT - Beginning Monday (July 6) road construction will begin on US-26 from the INL puzzle towards Blackfoot for approximately 12 miles ending at milepost 283.5.
Work will encompass replacing all of the culverts in the designated area. Once the pipe replacement is completed the project will proceed with road reconstruction. This project is to make repairs to the existing roadway and extend the lifespan of the highway.
Road work will take place between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. and cover approximately 12 miles from the INL Puzzle southeast towards Blackfoot to milepost 283.5.
Motorists should anticipate reduced speeds to 50 MPH and traffic control with a pilot car to guide traffic through the workzone. Drivers are encouraged to watch for flaggers in the workzone. As construction continues, drivers should plan their commute accordingly.
There will also be a 14.5 foot width restriction through the workzone. The project is expected to be completed by late October.
Motorists are encouraged to drive safely and attentively through work zones.
