6/14/11 Traffic Update for NID’s Banner Cascade Pipeline Project Construction

Construction on NID’s Banner Cascade Pipeline project continues on Banner Mountain during good weather conditions.  Watch for construction signage and flaggers as they help safely direct traffic through the following construction zones. Raw water pipeline installation continues along the east end of Wings of Morning Drive.  Construction equipment and trucks will enter and exit Wings of Morning Drive from both ends from now until the project is completed.  Turnouts are available along the alignment route allowing for passing residential traffic.

Final work on vaults is scheduled on Banner Lava Cap Road, between Idaho Maryland Road and Wings of Morning Drive, weather dependent. Traffic will be limited to one lane while construction activities are underway.  Minimal delays are expected, however they may be up to twenty minutes in duration.

General clean up on Lee Lane is underway. Minimal delays are expected, however they may be up to twenty minutes in duration.
