Lane restrictions along Highway 44 for Linder-to-Ballantyne reconstruction
Traffic will be restricted at night on Idaho 44 from W. State Street to just east of the Idaho 44/Linder Road intersection beginning Sunday, February 17,” said Idaho Transportation Department spokesman Reed Hollinshead. The ITD will be working to replace irrigation pipes under the roadway.
“This work is part of the Department’s Idaho 44 improvement project from Linder Road to Ballantyne Lane. Over the next several months, crews will be rebuilding the Idaho 44/Linder Road intersection and widening Idaho 44 to five lanes. Construction is expected to be completed by this fall,” he said.
Flaggers will direct traffic through the construction zone from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m.
Traffic will be restricted to one lane at various times during the night. Restrictions will be in place Sunday through Thursday for each of the next three weeks. During the day, construction will be limited to the shoulder and side of the roadway and will not restrict traffic.
Drivers are reminded to slow down, pay attention in construction zones and be aware of the safety of construction workers. Motorists can expect delays during construction.
Plan extra time for trips and, if possible, find an alternate route, Hollinshead said.
