Traffic signal upgrades have begun in the Magic and Wood River Valleys

HAILEY - The Idaho Transportation Department has begun upgrading traffic signals throughout the Magic Valley and Wood River Valley.

Initial work will integrate and upgrade wiring on specific signals. Replacement of signal poles, upgrading cabinets, and detection will then take place.

Wiring improvement on the signals at the intersections of SH-75 and Saddle Road, Hospital Road, and East Fork Road is ongoing and will occur at night between 6 p.m. and 7 a.m. with no flagging or lane closures until January 24. Drivers should stay aware of crews working in the areas.

Other signals slated for upgrades through the end of February are:

  • US-30 and Kimberly Road in Kimberly
  • Idaho Street and Main in Wendell
  • US-26 and SH-46 in Gooding
  • SH-24 and 100 West in Rupert
  • SH-24 and 100 South in Rupert
  • Main and Hiland in Burley
  • Overland and 16th in Burley
  • US-30 and Bedke in Burley
  • Overland and 21st in Burley
  • Overland and 3rd North in Burley
  • Overland and 7th North in Burley
  • US-30 and 7th in Heyburn

Drivers should expect some delays while work is being done.

Crews will return to the three signals on SH-75 at the end of February to further upgrade cabinets and continue testing and detection. During that time, flaggers and temporary lane closures are expected to be present between 6 p.m. and 7 a.m. on weeknights barring any weather concerns.
