55 on any summer weekend is awful, and on a holiday weekend I wouldn't bother. Take 95 if you're going to McCall, or if you're headed up to Garden Valley or Stanley take 21 through Idaho City. I'm not sure about the status of construction or landslides.
We plan our travel early or late and have not had any problems. Going around through New Meadows will add 1.5 to 2 hours to this trip. Since the weather is drying up for at least a coue of days, that should help as far as keeping the hillsides intact. Our destination is Sugarloaf CG.
