UPDATE: SH-55 Smiths Ferry to Round Valley will remain closed due to rockslide
SMITHS FERRY -- SH-55 near Smiths Ferry will remain closed in both directions at least through tomorrow (Jan. 24) afternoon due to a rockslide. Experts will be on site tomorrow morning to assess the safety and stability of the hillside before reopening the road to the traveling public.
Another update will be provided tomorrow afternoon once there is more information about when the road could reopen.
Until the highway is reopened, travelers can use U.S. Highway 95 as the alternate route.
The Idaho Transportation Department appreciates the continued patience of the public with another rockslide while crews work to reopen the highway as soon as possible.
The public can receive direct updates on this slide by signing up for text or email alerts on the project website, itdprojects.org/id55smithsferry, or visit Idaho 511 before leaving on a trip to learn the latest highway conditions.
