Projects

The City of Victor, in partnership with the Snavely Group, are working towards the creation of a 90-unit workforce housing development. There is a dedicated Workforce Housing page created to provide all of the public materials, steps of the process, and progress of construction in one place.

A grant-funded bridge repair is planned at the Calderwood Lane/Trail Creek Drive/500 West crossing. This project aims to combat erosion by installing rip rap and reinforcing the concrete supports, with work scheduled to begin when water levels are sufficiently low to allow for safe construction. 

As these projects progress, we'll provide updates on construction timelines and any temporary traffic patterns that may be necessary during the replacement work.

Crystal Bridge Replacement

NOTICE : Bridge Key 33038 - Bridge Replacement at 1000 S (Crystal Ave) Bridge will be replaced with a new premanufactured steel bridge and Cast-In-Place abutment system. Work will begin on August 25, closing 1000 S ( Crystal Ave) to through traffic and must be completed within 75 working days of starting construction. Once started, work must continuously progress until completion, except for paving. If all project structure and roadway work items are complete, and weather does not permit project 405 paving to occur within the specification requirements, time may be suspended by the Engineer until weather allows.

Depending on weather limitations, paving may be delayed until spring, April 1, 2026. Please see the attachment for detour mapping.

This project is being guided by Idaho Transportation Department Specifications and Forsgren Engineering.

Trail Creek's Crystal Bridge is set for a complete replacement this fall in a project that promises significant safety and structural improvements for our community. 

The city successfully secured a state grant that will cover 100% of the project costs—nearly one million dollars. Additionally, the state will take on project management responsibilities, ensuring professional oversight throughout the construction process. 

This long-awaited replacement brings several important enhancements: 

Current weight restrictions will be eliminated, allowing for unrestricted vehicle access 

A dedicated pedestrian pathway will be added for safer foot traffic 

New guard rails will be installed—a crucial safety feature the current bridge lacks 

The improvements address longstanding concerns about the bridge's safety, particularly the absence of guardrails on the existing structure. Once complete, the new Crystal Bridge will provide a more secure crossing for both vehicles and pedestrians over Trail Creek. 

In related infrastructure news, another grant-funded bridge repair is planned at the Calderwood Lane/Trail Creek Drive/500 West crossing. This project aims to combat erosion by installing rip rap and reinforcing the concrete supports, with work scheduled to begin when water levels are sufficiently low to allow for safe construction. 

As these projects progress, we'll provide updates on construction timelines and any temporary traffic patterns that may be necessary during the replacement work.

Victor Secures Its Future: City Council Approves Independent Wastewater Treatment Facility 

The Victor City Council approved plans to build the city's own wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), a decision that marks a significant step toward long-term infrastructure independence and fiscal responsibility for our community. 

A Time-Sensitive Decision 

This important decision comes in response to a Department of Justice lawsuit against the City of Driggs regarding its wastewater treatment facility. With strict deadlines in place, Victor faced a critical choice: continue sending our wastewater to Driggs' new facility as a customer with limited input and no cost control, or establish our own treatment capabilities. 

After thorough analysis and careful deliberation, the City Council determined that building our own facility best serves the long-term interests of Victor residents. 

Benefits for Victor Residents 

The new Victor wastewater treatment plant will provide several important advantages: 

Financial Control: Our own facility will protect residents from unpredictable rate increases that would be beyond our control as customers of another city's system. 

Taxpayer Protection: While the initial investment is substantial, the long-term financial outlook shows greater stability and predictability for our municipal budget and your utility bills. 

Growth on Our Terms: As Victor continues to develop, having our own infrastructure ensures that our infrastructure matches our needs. 

Local Decision-Making: All aspects of the facility—from design to operations to future expansions—will be determined by Victor, for Victor. 

Next Steps 

As this project moves forward, the City is committed to keeping residents informed and involved. Keep an eye out for opportunities for public engagement during the design and implementation phases. 

Residents with questions about the new wastewater treatment plant are encouraged to contact City Hall during normal business hours.
