About the Project
U.S. Route 93 (overlapped by U.S. Route 20/26) serves as the only route to Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve. The route sees extensive agricultural and recreational use. The project is in the design phase, with construction of improvements anticipated in 2026.
The design phase will:
- Study environmental conditions on and around US-93
- Evaluate alternatives that improve safety
- Collect input and engage motorists who use US-93 in the project area
- Select preferred alternative design and begin design plans
Community Involvement
ITD is committed to involving the stakeholders, the community and the general public in the Tomcat Hill design process. There will be several opportunities thought the Tomcat Hill Curves project to give ITD feedback.
ITD will host a stakeholder working group in early February. The working group will bring many of the projects key stakeholders to the table to discuss concerns about US-93 in the project area. There will be a second working group hosted late 2023 to show preliminary design plans to the same stakeholders.
There are also plans for two public open houses. The first will be hosted in early spring, and the second once a design has been selected. ITD will notify the public of both open houses once the date, time and location are scheduled.
