Crews work to clear ‘avalanche alley’ on Highway 21

The highway has been closed for weeks due to a massive avalanche blocking the road.

BOISE, Idaho — A 12-mile stretch of Idaho 21 known as “avalanche alley,” between Grandjean Junction and Banner Summit, may reopen this weekend.

A huge avalanche late last month shut it down.

Idaho Transportation Department crews have been working since then to clear the snow.
