Greenroads Score: 13 Points

Description

SH-75 in Idaho is the primary roadway used for North-South travel to Destination Resorts in Sun Valley, the Wood River Valley, and other recreational opportunities. This section of roadway is located in a mostly un-developed area. Due to the location along the Big Wood River there is abundant wildlife and wetlands in the project area. This project is the first part of a 27 mile improvement program between US-20 and Ketchum, ID.

The purposes and benefits of the project are many, including increased capacity, increased transportation safety and increased access to surrounding areas, including new pedestrian and bicycle facilities.
