SH-55 Round Valley to Clear Creek

Project Completion

The SH-55 Clear Creek repaving project was completed on October 18, 2022. Outcomes of the project’s improvements between mileposts 101.545 and 108 are as follows:

• Even surfaces – after years of damages incurred by harsh weather conditions and heavy usage, the SH-55 Clear Creek project repaved the roadway surface between mileposts 101.545 and 108 to help improve driving conditions and preserve this iconic Idaho highway.
• Safer driveways – after identifying steep approaches to the roadway, ITD worked with property owners to modify driveways and improve safety standards for local property owners.
• Smooth entry and exit from roadway – Construction added pavement aprons to every approach to the roadway, creating seamless transition to the newly paved surface.
• Improved drainage – ITD project engineers designed new drainage improvements to SH-55, helping to pull water away from the surface of the road. These measures will give a boost to public safety and extend the life of the new highway surface.
