CAMBRIDGE, ID — The Idaho Transportation Department will begin a road resurfacing project on five miles of U.S. Highway 95 in and around the city of Cambridge on May 27. The project is designed to extend the life of the roadway, improve ride quality, and enhance safety for drivers and pedestrians.
Motorists should expect delays in the area as crews will close one lane at a time during daytime hours, Monday through Friday, with no work scheduled on weekends or holidays. Flaggers and pilot cars will guide traffic safely through the work zone.
This project includes:
- Resurfacing the roadway with a mill and inlay to extend the life of the pavement and improve ride quality for drivers.
- Slope repairs to address soil instability south of the Cambridge city limits. This work will begin immediately and require a lane closure controlled by a temporary traffic signal. This closure will be in place less than two weeks.
- Sidewalk pedestrian ramp replacements to improve accessibility and safety for pedestrians.
The speed limit will be reduced through the work zone for the safety of workers and travelers. This project is expected to be complete by mid-July.
ITD encourages drivers to plan ahead and use caution in construction areas. For the latest updates on road conditions and detours, visit 511.
