Improvements to Superior Street/Mill Road in Cambridge to begin July 20
CAMBRIDGE - A project to improve Superior Street/Mill Road at the north end of Cambridge is expected to begin July 20, the Idaho Transportation Department announced.
This project, off the state highway system, involves improving 1,300 feet of roadway and replacing the existing bridge on Rush Creek with a new single-span bridge.
To improve drainage, the two-lane roadway is going to be paved curb-to-curb, with curb, gutter, parking stalls and sidewalk work included.
The contractor intends to keep the south half of Superior Street open to through traffic and close off the north half (adjacent to the removed bridge) except to local traffic.
Crews will work an 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. schedule Monday through Friday. No weekend or holiday work is expected.
Hap Taylor & Sons Inc. dba Knife River (Boise) is the contractor on this $922,000 project.
Although ITD is administering the contract, the project itself comes under the jurisdiction of the Local Highway Technical Advisory Council (LHTAC). The city of Cambridge is the local sponsor of this project, and a financial contributor.
The project is expected to finish in late October.
