Fuel Shortages Prompt Idaho Highway Plowing Cutback
Idaho Department of Highways will not maintain a bare pavement, 24 hour plowing policy due to fuel shortages in the Panhandle's five northern counties. Merle Harding said fuel is scarce but essential winter maintenance will continue with conservation. Crews will keep routes open, but some snow conditions may linger as local fuel outages persist. The public should use tire chains, reduce speeds, and allow extra travel time.
