The Idaho Transportation Department’s board voted on Thursday night to accelerate several major statewide projects.

Construction for the four projects will begin this summer, and two on them will impact local drivers..

The first project is Highway 16 from Interstate 84 to Chinden Boulevard. The other is Highway 20/26 from Interstate 84 to Middleton Road.

The other two projects are I-86/I-15 System Interchange in Pocatello and I-90 and State Highway 41 (SH-41) Interchange in Post Falls.
