Trio of bridges along Idaho 55 in Ada, Valley counties to be repaired this fall
BOISE
- Three bridge decks spanning Idaho 55 in Ada and Valley counties will have surface cracks repaired
this fall during a month-long project, the Idaho Transportation Department
announced.
The
work will extend the life of the bridges. The cracks vary in size, and are
caused by general wear-and-tear and the aging of concrete. The project will
fill the cracks and then seal the repaired surface. A full-width concrete waterproofing also will be added
The
bridges are at Lake Fork near milepost 135, Boulder Creek near milepost 131 and
Dry Creek near milepost 48. Dry
Creek Bridge is about 28.5 miles north of the U.S. 20/26 junction; Boulder
Creek is on the south side of Donnelly at the city limits; and the Lake Fork
structure is three miles south of the town of Lake Fork.
Restruction
Corp., of West Valley City, Utah, is the contractor on this $90,000 project.
