Roadwork Notice: Ammon Road repairs underway

AMMON, ID (KIFI) - A heads-up to drivers in Ammon this Tuesday: plan for delays today as crews repair damage left by an earlier water main break.

Starting this morning at 7 AM, crews will reduce traffic down to one lane in each direction between San Carlos and Rawson Street while permanent repairs are made. 

The City of Ammon says this construction is connected to a previous water main break that damaged the roadway. All traffic control will be handled by Idaho Transportation Services, while Premiere Paving crews work to repair and repave the damaged section of the road.

Drivers should expect slower traffic and possible backups throughout today, especially during the morning and afternoon commute hours. The lane restrictions will stay in place until the work is completed.

City officials are encouraging people to slow down in the work zone, watch for flaggers and construction crews, and, if possible, consider taking alternate routes.
