ITD seeks comments on planned road, bridge and safety projects

BOISE — The Idaho Transportation Department is seeking input now through July 31 on the modification of its even-year investment program.

In mid-June, the Idaho Transportation Board reviewed staff recommendations to reprioritize projects and balance the budget as part of the ITIP update. 

The current program includes $200 million dedicated to pavements and $100 million dedicated to bridges each year. Funded projects focus on protecting and maintaining the usability of the current transportation network. 

“ITD is investing with purpose by first funding projects necessary for preserving existing roads and investments before adding more miles to the system,” Chairman Bill Moad said. “However, for the next year, staff are continuing studies and project development for expansion to the greatest extent possible to be prepared for the potential restoration of revenue in the coming years.”  

Comments can be emailed to [email protected], recorded at 208-334-8063 or mailed to Brianna Fernandez at P.O. Box 7129, Boise, ID 83707.
