Hwy 55 in Caldwell to close over weekend for bridge work
CALDWELL — A portion of State Highway 55 will be completely closed over the weekend while crews place an overlay on a bridge. According to a news release from the Idaho Transportation Department, the highway will be closed between Lake Avenue and Midway Road from 10 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 23, to 5 a.m. Monday, Oct. 26. The overlay on the Wilson Drain bridge will extend the service life of the bridge, ITD stated, and provide a textured driving surface for added traction. Drivers are encouraged to use Interstate 84, State Highway 19 and U.S. Highway 95 as detour routes. “This work is a part of larger efforts underway since 2024 to add additional lanes of traffic, separated pedestrian and bicycle pathways and an undercrossing at 10th Avenue on SH-55 in Canyon County,” ITD said. “Construction is expected to finish in 2028.” ITD says that anyone seeking more information about the project should visit itd.idaho.gov/project/55farmway, call 208-477-1379, or email info@55farmwaytomiddleton.org.
