Pleasant View Road between SH-53, Prairie Ave. scheduled to close

HAUSER — Pleasant View Road between State Highway 53 and Prairie Avenue is set to close as early as the first week of March, according to a press release from the Idaho Transportation Department.

Drivers will be able to use either Prairie Avenue or McGuire Road to access SH-53 during the closure. 

This closure is part of the SH-53-Pleasant View Road Interchange construction that began last fall. 

The project will enhance safety along the highly traveled SH-53 corridor by ultimately eliminating three railroad/vehicle crossings, streamlining access to SH-53 and increasing capacity on SH-53 and Pleasant View Road, the release said.

Northbound drivers on Beck Road will need to turn right on Prairie Avenue and do a full rotation of the roundabout to access SH-53 from westbound Prairie Avenue.

Westbound drivers on Prairie Avenue will need to find an alternative route altogether to access southbound Beck Road.
