Bliss railroad crossing improvements begin this weekend on SH-26

BLISS- State Highway 26 near Andersons Grain will be reduced to one lane beginning Saturday as crews address the deteriorating railroad crossing in Bliss.

Temporary traffic signals will be installed to safely direct vehicles through the work zone. Low clearance vehicles should find an alternate route due to limited clearance.

Work will replace the pavement and train tracks to make the crossing smoother and is expected to be complete by September 27.

Motorists should plan ahead, allow extra travel time, and follow posted signage in the Bliss area. Check 511.idaho.gov for updated traffic impacts.
