BOISE, Idaho — The Idaho Transportation Department posted on its website Friday afternoon that a 55-mile stretch of Interstate 84 near the Idaho-Utah border is back open after being closed earlier in the day.
The highway was closed down between Exit 222 (11 miles east of Heyburn) to the Utah State line due to difficult driving conditions brought about by blowing and drifting snow.
Driver are urged to use caution and be on the lookout for snow on the roadway.
ITD warns visibility is still reduced in the area and to be prepared for gusty winds up to 17 mph and drifting snow between Exit 245 and the state line. That's a 31-mile stretch of the interstate.
