PAYETTE - The Idaho Transportation Department will begin resurfacing sections of US-95 between Fruitland and Payette on June 2.

Work will start in Payette south of the intersection of US-95 and 16th Street and continue south to the Payette River Bridge, with crews spending several days rebuilding and paving each section before moving to the next. Crews will rebuilding the road base and remove deteriorated pavement before applying new asphalt.

Traffic impacts will vary by location throughout construction. US-95 will be reduced to one lane in each direction where space allows. In narrower sections of roadway, including portions of Payette, flaggers will direct traffic through the one-lane work zone.

Additional daytime shoulder work will continue throughout the project corridor in Fruitland and Payette. Crews are also replacing underground utilities and constructing curbs and gutters between 16th Street and 24th Street in Fruitland and between 3rd Avenue and 6th Avenue in Payette.

Drivers should expect delays, slow down in work zones and watch for workers and flaggers. Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead and check 511.idaho.gov or the 511 mobile app for current traffic impacts and delays.

Construction is scheduled to finish in fall 2026.
