SANDPOINT - Motorists can expect minor delays on U.S. 2 between Dover and Sandpoint Monday through Wednesday (Aug. 29-31), the Idaho Transportation Department announced. Crews will be gathering geotechnical information for improvements to the U.S. 2 corridor.
On Monday, crews will use a backhoe to dig test holes between the bike path and U.S. 2. Traffic impacts are expected to be minimal.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, crews will make test borings in two Sandpoint locations: between Fifth Avenue and Cedar Street, and at the intersection of U.S. 2 and Rocky Point Road. Crews will also make test borings along the corridor at the intersection of U.S. 2 and Division Street.
