Resurfacing in Payette and Fruitland to begin Tuesday (June 1)
BOISE - Work is expected to begin Tuesday (June 1) on several pavement rehabilitation projects encompassing about six miles of U.S. 95 from north Fruitland to north Payette as well as about one-half mile of U.S. 30 between the Snake River and Fruitland. In addition to resurfacing, pavement cracks also will be filled throughout the area in this three-month project.
One lane will be closed on U.S. 95 between Fruitland and Payette in the project area for the first week of June. Paving is expected to start the week starting June 7. Flaggers will be on site to assist with traffic control.
Standard work hours will be 7 a.m. to dusk Monday through Thursday, and to noon on Friday. No weekend work is expected. There may be some overnight (10 p.m. to 5 a.m.) work when the contractor is working on the signalized intersections at U.S. 95 and U.S. 30 (Gayway Junction) and the U.S. 95/95 Spur intersection south of Payette. The traffic signals at those intersections will be upgraded to video detection-based operating systems.
Part of this resurfacing work must be completed by mid-June, prior to work beginning on the Payette River Bridge reconstruction project.
Knife River of Boise is the contractor on this $2.1 million project.
