Idaho Transportation Department is hosting public meetings to discuss ways to improve State Highway 16 between SH-44 (State) and SH-52 in Gem County. ITD is inviting the community to learn about the project, provide input on issues and concerns, and feedback on the plans to improve SH-16.
This popular highway is mostly one lane between SH-44 and SH-52 and is the major thruway to Emmett. Along this path are also some popular Treasure Valley destinations, including Firebird Race Track, Dude DeWalt Cellars, and the soon-to-open Eagle Sports Complex.
SH-16 in this area often experiences intense traffic congestion if there is an accident or in the case of a special event (think Eagle Rodeo).
IN PERSON MEETINGS - 4:30p - 7:00p (drop in any time at either location)
- Monday, December 4 at Eagle Christian Church
- Wednesday, December 6 at Emmett High School
ONLINE MEETING
- open from December 7 - 21
- ITD website
ITD plans on sharing the details for the project, including updated traffic and crash data, timeline, and asking for impact concerns.
