Fruitland's S. Pennsylvania to be resurfaced starting Monday (June 7)
BOISE
- A project to resurface South Pennsylvania Avenue in Fruitland is slated to begin Monday (June 7). Construction is expected to last about two months.
The Idaho Transportation Department project will include a mill and overlay (about two inches of the existing
surface will be removed, and replaced with two inches of new pavement) between
U.S. 95 and SW 4th Street. Improvements to the existing crosswalks and advanced
signage will be constructed to increase pedestrian safety. After this overlay,
pavement markings will be replaced and will improve vehicle flow and movement at the elementary and middle schools.
South Pennsylvania Avenue is an integral part of the transportation system for
Fruitland. It is the only roadway access to the Fruitland elementary and middle
schools and also provides approach to the Fruitland intermediate and high
schools. The avenue also serves as a northbound gateway into Fruitland.
The City of Fruitland is the local sponsor of this project, and also is
participating financially.
Irvco Asphalt & Gravel
Inc. of Fruitland is the contractor on this $298,000 project.
