Final touches are coming together for the upcoming school year at Owyhee High School, but some road projects nearby are behind schedule as more than 1,400 students prepare to attend this new school.
There are a few projects happening now and are scheduled to be complete before school starts on August 26, including the widening of McMillan Road at Owyhee Storm.
Idaho News6 reports a few projects will be ongoing through November. At the intersection of Star and McMillan, a traffic light will be installed and both roads will be widened to three lanes. Ustick Road and McDermott Road will also be widened.
As BoiseDev reported, ACHD said all of these projects were supposed to be complete before Owyhee High School could open, however the City of Meridian has granted occupancy for Owyhee High School, meaning they can open on time.
There will be an open house at Owyhee High School on August 17 for students and parents from 4-8 PM and a ribbon cutting on August 19.
