Traffic to shift on US-30 in McCammon this Saturday

MCCAMMON - The Idaho Transportation Department has completed the first portion of concrete paving on the westbound lanes of U.S. Highway 30 near the I-15 interchange in McCammon. This Saturday afternoon traffic will be moved to the recently completed westbound lanes to allow work to start on the eastbound lanes. Traffic will remain one lane in each direction through the work zone.

The project, begun in early March, is replacing the old asphalt surface with concrete to better withstand heavy truck traffic on US-30.

Access to residences and businesses will remain open. However, Old US-91 into downtown McCammon will be closed off, and traffic will be detoured south onto Interstate 15B to the Jensen Road Interchange, Hall Road, and East Price Road. Construction is scheduled to be completed by the end of July.
