## Resource

Idaho’s highway future is in limbo as nearly $1.3 billion in planned projects face indefinite delays due to a massive funding gap — a direct result of legislative cuts. With rapid population growth straining infrastructure, especially in Southwest Idaho, the state is pivoting from expansion to maintenance: pothole fixes, bridge repairs, and pavement preservation now take priority. While design work continues, construction is frozen until new revenue emerges. The public can weigh in on the seven-year plan until July 31, with final approval expected in September — signaling a major shift in how Idaho builds and sustains its road network.
