Project Description and Purpose
This summer, the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) will rehabilitate the pavement on Idaho Highway 75 (ID-75) in Hailey between Fox Acres Road and Cobblestone Lane.
This phase of construction follows recent upgrades to pedestrian ramps and crossings to meet current Americans with Disabilities (ADA) standards.
ITD has been working with the City of Hailey and the community since 2019, seeking input on construction plans in an effort to minimize impacts to businesses, residents, and visitors.

Construction Plans
This project will provide for a smoother driving surface through downtown Hailey. In the coming months, ITD will rehabilitate the highway, which includes milling the old road surface, and replacing it with new pavement. Improvements will also include new striping and pedestrian crossings.

What to Anticipate During Construction
Work will occur at night to reduce impacts to adjacent businesses and the traveling public. Night work was approved by Hailey City Council in 2019.
Construction will occur at night between the hours of 6:30 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. Monday through Friday. | |
During nighttime work hours, one northbound and one southbound lane will be open to traffic. | |
During the day, two lanes will be open both northbound and southbound. | |
Drivers should anticipate driving on a temporary gravel surface during construction activities. Crews will use dust abatement methods to manage dust and dirt during construction. | |
To the extent possible, business access will be maintained. | |
Sidewalk access and pedestrian detours will be clearly marked. | |
No parking will be permitted in the work zone. Vehicles left in the work zone will be towed at the owner’s expense. | |
Some work will be noisy, including grinding, milling, and vibratory rolling and movement to compact the roadway. Vibration may cause unsecured items to move or fall. Construction equipment will also use back up alarms. |
ITD encourages everyone to slow down and pay attention when traveling in the work zone.

Pavement Milling
Pavement milling removes the full depth of roadway surface so new pavement can be installed.
The milling machines use a large rotating drum to remove and grind the road surface.
Preparing Base Materials
The crew then prepares the base for the subsequent asphalt layers through compaction.
Dust Abatement
ITD uses dust abatement methods to keep dust and dirt down during construction. Water trucks are used to dampen dry, loose dirt.
Roadway Paving
Once the base is properly prepared, a new asphalt surface is installed.
Rolling
After the asphalt has been spread on the roadway, the surface is smoothed and compacted using a roller truck.
Night Work *
Decreased temperatures and decreased traffic results in a safer work environment for the construction crew.
Large lights are used to illuminate the work zone.
* Night work was approved by Hailey City Council in 2019. Night work reduces impacts to the traveling public and allows the contractor to work with minimal interruptions.
Curb Ramps
The sidewalk area near the curb ramp needs to have adequate space for a person in a wheelchair and be free of obstructions to allow proper sightlines.
Business Access
ITD will work with the City of Hailey to maintain access, where possible, to businesses throughout construction.
Open Traffic Lanes
During the day, two lanes of traffic will be open north and southbound. At night, one lane of traffic will be maintained in both directions.
Curb Ramps
Some construction is noisy and can include grinding, milling and vibratory rolling. Vibration may cause unsecured items to move or fall. Business owners and residents are encouraged to secure items during rolling. Back up alarms and other noise from vehicles and equipment will also occur during this work.
Schedule
Construction is scheduled to begin the week of July 12 and be complete by the end of summer.
