U.S. 95, Worley North Project

Project Facts

MP 403.5-407.7
Project Number: A010(914)
Key Number: 10914

The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) has begun reconstructing 4.2 miles of U.S. 95 north of Worley to about one mile north of Idaho 58. Due to increasing traffic demands, the aging highway will be widened from a two-lane highway to a four-lane divided highway north of Worley. An interchange will be constructed at the U.S. 95 junction with Idaho 58 to improve safety at the crossing.

Description

The U.S. 95, Worley North project begins about one-half mile outside the western city limits of Worley and ends about one mile north of the junction of U.S. 95 and Idaho 58.

Background

The U.S. 95, Worley to Setters corridor will complete a 20-mile reconstruction effort on U.S. 95 from Worley north to the Mica Creek Bridge. U.S. 95 provides the primary north-south link for northern Idaho commerce, transportation and tourism. The corridor between Worley and Idaho 58 needs to be widened and realigned to accommodate increased traffic.

The Worley to Setters corridor has two stages. The GARVEE Transportation program provides funding to construct the first stage – 4.2 miles from Worley to one mile north of Idaho 58.

Stage 2 includes 1.3 miles of U.S. 95 through Worley and was not funded through the GARVEE bonds.

Schedule and Funding

Construction began in May 2007 and is expected to be complete in three years. Traffic updates will be available on ITD’s 511 page as the project progresses.

These improvements, estimated at $45.6 million, were included in the original GARVEE funding approved by the Legislature in 2006.
