Eastern Idaho

East Idaho (District 6)

Eastbound on U.S. 20 south of the Idaho National Laboratory.

Created in 1951 as the sixth and final operating district of what was then the Department of Highways, District 6 encompasses the eastern Idaho counties of Bonneville, Butte, Clark, Custer, Fremont, Jefferson, Lemhi, Madison and Teton.

The district is the second largest by land area and road miles, covering 18,588 square miles or 23 percent of the state and including 990 highway miles, approximately 20 percent of the state system. The district maintains a total of 2,302 lane miles (lanes of road, on- and off-ramps, etc.) and 358 bridges.

District 6 is the third largest by population, with 207,000 residents or 13 percent of the state. Terrain includes plains, valleys and mountains, with highlands boasting eight of the 12 highest mountain passes in Idaho.

District headquarters is at 206 North Yellowstone Highway south of Rigby in Jefferson County, where Blake Rindlisbacher is district (head) engineer. Former Idaho legislator Lee Gagner, of Idaho Falls, represents District 6 on the Idaho Transportation Board.
