Traveling on Highway 55 through Smith s Ferry is about to be a little more consistent.
The Idaho Transportation Department determined the hillside where that rock slide occurred last month remains stable. When the slide happened it closed the highway and forced drivers to take a long detour on Highway 95.
âSafety is the top priority of the Idaho Transportation Department. We are thankful no one was hurt during the rockslide activity on State Highway 55 last month,â said District 3 Administrator Caleb Lakey in a statement. âHillsides and slopes become more unstable when doing work of this nature. We expect rock fall as a part of these projects. We had precautions in place to protect the traveling public in case of any slide activity and are doubling down on those precautions.â
