Development of Three Separate Projects

In 2024, the Idaho Transportation Board approved funding to launch three initiatives from this study. These will provide short- and long-term solutions for the Magic Valley.

1. US-93, Blue Lakes Boulevard and Pole Line Road Intersection Improvements Project

This project includes intersection analysis, value engineering, and preliminary design.

2. SH-50/US-30 Corridor Project (Red Cap Corner to I-84)
 
This project consists of widening or replacing the Hansen Bridge and safety analysis for both SH-50 and US-30 into Twin Falls.

3. Snake River Crossing Project
 
This project will launch the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review process for a Snake River crossing that will utilize the recent feasibility study information and coordinate with the new Magic Valley Metropolitan Planning Organization to consider options for an additional bridge crossing potentially extending SH-25 or SH-79 or widening US-30 or SH-46.

The Snake River Crossing Project will focus on confirming regional consensus to select an alternative for a potential new bridge crossing. The other two initiatives will proceed independently, utilizing the study information to begin environmental and design phases, expected to begin in 2025.
