McArthur Lake project paving to start

Starting Monday morning, Aug. 28, Idaho Transportation Department will begin paving a temporary adjacent road, also known as a shoo-fly, as part of ongoing construction for the U.S. 95 McArthur Lake project.

Paving is expected to last two days, during which time the highway will be reduced to one lane in alternating shifts to allow crews to work. Flaggers may also be utilized to assist with traffic flow. Drivers should expect delays throughout daytime commuting hours.

It is anticipated that traffic will shift over to this new section of paved roadway in mid-September to accommodate final construction of the future bridge. The projected final completion date for this project is fall 2024.

Motorists should exercise caution while traveling through work zones.
