ITD suspends Picabo highway work
The Idaho Transportation Department has suspended work on U.S. Highway 20 near Picabo because of moist soil conditions.
"We considered several options to continue construction at this time, but the realization that the wet conditions will continue to be an issue led us to the decision to suspend work at this time," said ITD Resident Engineer Thomas Brown. "Conditions should be better when the crews return this fall."
The project involves rehabilitation of Highway 20 between Gannett Road and the Silver Creek bridge east of Picabo.
