Lower speed limits ordered to limit breakup
RIGBY, Idaho (KIFI)-Snowstorms and fluctuating temperatures have created a new crop of potholes on regional highways this month.
The Idaho Transportation Department in Rigby has temporarily reduced speed limits on several highways to help reduce breakup and further damage.
The new limits take effect March 12 on the following roads:
- US-20 from Chester to Ashton
- ID-32 from Ashton to Tetonia
- ID-33 from US-20/26 junction to INL site
- ID-33 from Sugar City to Victor
- ID-22 from Dubois to ID-33 junction
- ID-48 from Roberts to Rigby
ITD has also announced plans for a road reconstruction project on Idaho 33 within the next few years. It is currently included in the Idaho Transportation Investment Program.  Â
Update--3-11: The Idaho Transportation Department said it planned to reconstruct a section of Idaho Highway 33 from the US-20/ID-33 intersection to Newdale starting this summer. That work is scheduled for completion by this fall.
