BOISE, Idaho —
Motorists traveling along Highway 55 Friday afternoon experienced lengthy delays after a stalled-out RV blocked failed to make it up a hill.
The Ada County Sheriff's Office sent out a traffic alert at 1:22 p.m. via Twitter.
They warned motorists that traffic on Idaho 55 between the Shadow Valley golf course and Avimor subdivision was backed up in both directions because of a stalled-out RV in the northbound lane. The RV was pulling an SUV.
It took several hours before a tow truck could remove the RV from the highway.
The Idaho Transportation Department has issued an advisory for people traveling along Highway 55 this Memorial Day weekend. Crews have been working to repave a section of the highway south of Smith's Ferry. That work is suspended until Tuesday.
Motorists should use caution because the pavement is still uneven in some areas after a harsh winter.
