Commuters on Highway 55 are in for more delays as workers continue to clean up the landslide that shut part of the highway down.
The Idaho Transportation Department said the area is still unsafe for traffic. Detours being recommended add hours to the commute between Valley County and the Treasure Valley.
Jake Melder with ITD joking calls this “rock migration season.”
For some living north of the landslide on Highway 55, the usual commute to Boise takes about one hour and 15 minutes.
But now, their only option is to take Highway 95 down to the Treasure Valley, which effectively doubles or even triples their drive time.
Highway 55 won’t be completely reopened until Wednesday at the earliest.
