REMINDER: Media invited to State Highway 16 groundbreaking today
BOISE -- As the Idaho Transportation Department begins construction on the State Highway 16 extension project, today we invite local media to join us for a groundbreaking ceremony.
Construction of phase two on the project is funded through Governor Brad Little’s Leading Idaho initiative. The new extension will run north to south between U.S. Highway 20/26 and Interstate 84, west of McDermott Road along the border of Ada and Canyon counties. It will tie into the existing SH-16 route, which continues north to Emmett.
This morning, hear from transportation leaders about the significance of this project.
Who: Governor Brad Little, ITD Director Scott Stokes, Idaho Transportation Board Member Julie DeLorenzo, and other local dignitaries
When: Monday, August 22, from 11:00 - 11:30 a.m.
Where: Near the intersection of SH-16 and US-20/26 (Chinden Blvd.) See map linked here. Please enter from eastbound Chinden.
