Both lanes on the 54-mile stretch are closed between the Exit 222 junction with Interstate 86 and the Utah State Line.
A section of Idaho Highway 81 also has been closed due to blowing snow and reduced visibility. The two-lane closure is between Malta at milepost 0.5 and Declo at milepost 26.
Southeast Idaho remains under a winter storm warning through Friday. Although the snow will taper off on Saturday, some 2 to 5 inches of snowfall are expected in the region through the weekend.
