All lanes of travel on this vital eastern Idaho roadway will be open during daytime hours, with crews working through the night to improve the route in sections this summer.
Work to create a smoother ride and preserve the longevity of all lanes of U.S. Highway 20 between Idaho Falls and Rigby begins tonight. Work will be intermittent through this week only.
Due to high traffic volumes, crews will work overnight from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. for the duration of this project, which is expected to be completed by late July.
Sunday to Thursday nights, travel will be reduced to one lane in the area work is occurring. Asphalt will be removed in sections, then repaved all in one night shift so both lanes of travel are open during daytime hours.
Motorists can expect to see these night-time work zones in effect from just north of Exit 309 at Science Center Drive to Exit 320 at Rigby. Drivers should be aware of staged equipment off the road during daytime hours.

Current traffic effects for this and all projects statewide can be found on the Idaho 511 app or at www.511.idaho.gov.
