Traffic delays are anticipated next week on State Highway 3 between Kendrick and Deary. The Idaho Transportation Department will conduct geotechnical investigations under the highway to prepare for future repaving scheduled for next year. Beginning Monday, flaggers will manage traffic in one lane through the work zone located north of Kendrick on the Bear Ridge Grade. Motorists may experience delays of up to 15 minutes. The work and associated traffic delays are expected to be completed by Wednesday.
