Road repairs continue on US-20/26 between Butte City and Arco Monday

ARCO, Idaho (KIFI/KIDK) - The Idaho Transportation Department maintenance crews will continue construction on US-20/26 from Butte City to Arco on Monday.

Crews will be paving an asphalt overlay from milepost 249 through 256.

This pavement preservation project will provide a smoother, safer ride for motorists by eliminating cracks and ruts on the road’s surface along with extending the lifespan of the highway. 

Motorists should anticipate reduced speeds and lanes reduced to a single-lane. Traffic control will be in place with a pilot car to guide traffic through the workzone. Drivers are encouraged to watch for flaggers in the workzone. Motorists are encouraged to plan their commute accordingly. 

The project is expected to be completed by Thursday, Sept. 17.
