CANYON COUNTY - Sections of State Highway 55 between Farmway Road and Middleton Road will be closed beginning this Friday. The weekend closures will continue until March as part of the SH-55 widening project.
Each weekend, full closures will begin on Friday at 10 p.m. and continue until Monday at 5 a.m. Motorists are advised to plan ahead and allow extra travel time. Large vehicles traveling to Nampa and Caldwell should use alternate routes, including U.S. Highway 95 and State Highways 19, 78, and 45.
"The canal under-crossings need to be replaced to support the wider highway and this work must be completed before spring while irrigation canals and lines are empty," ITD Project Manager Justin Wolf said. "We appreciate everyone's patience and understanding."
