A landslide has caused the closure of State Highway 95 in both directions from Council to New Meadows in Idaho, as reported by the Idaho Transportation Department. The slide has damaged a portion of the highway’s shoulder, leading to the closure.
Drivers are advised to take State Highway 55 as a detour for regional traffic, while local traffic is allowed to use SH-95 between Council and Glendale, and New Meadows and Pine Ridge. The ITD has announced that geotechnical engineers will be on site in the morning to evaluate the damage and determine the necessary steps to address the situation.
As more information becomes available, updates will be provided regarding the closure and any developments related to the landslide.
