BOISE, Idaho (AP) - Idaho Highway 55 has reopened following a large mudslide
that blocked the route connecting Boise and McCall for two days.
The Idaho Transportation Department opened the road about 7:30 p.m. Saturday
after crews cleared about 6,000 cubic yards of debris that included mud,
rocks and trees.
The ground gave way Thursday afternoon following severe thunderstorms in an
area that had burned in a wildfire.
The mudslide occurred between Banks and Smiths Ferry.
Authorities say motorists should use caution as crews are continuing to
clear debris. |
