Idaho 55 traffic is worse than ever
Idaho 55 between Eagle and McCall serves as the gateway to places like Payette Lake, Tamarack Resort, Cascade, natural hot springs and other outdoor playgrounds. Running through the far western part of Boise County, it also serves as the main roadway connecting communities like Horseshoe Bend and Banks to the Boise area.
