STAR, Idaho — A crash and construction slowed the morning commute along Highway 16 on Friday.

Both northbound lanes were closed near Floating Feather Road due to a jackknifed semi. In an update at 9:50 a.m., officials said that traffic had cleared.

Meanwhile, flaggers directed traffic at the intersection of Highway 16 and Highway 44, as overnight rain delayed construction. ITD said it was unable to reopen the intersection to regular traffic by 5 a.m. because road striping would not adhere to the wet pavement.

Drivers can stay up to date on the latest closures and traffic conditions on Idaho 511.
