Robie Creek to Idaho City overlay on Idaho 21 slated for this summer
BOISE
- A thin asphalt layer will be added to a 17-mile stretch of Idaho 21 between
Robie Creek and Idaho City in a project expected to begin this summer, the Idaho
Transportation Department announced. The work will take about two months to complete.
This
project, from milepost 22-39, will receive a thin-lift overlay of 1.8
inches of new pavement to extend the life of the pavement and restore
the driving surface for a smoother ride.
Please
access ITD's Facebook page here for a map of the project area.
One
lane will be closed during the overlay work, with pilot cars and flaggers directing
traffic. No lane closures are allowed at night.
Central
Paving Co. Inc., of Boise, is the contractor on this $2.1 million project.
The Idaho Transportation Department is in
charge of all roads within the state highway system - interstates, state
highways and U.S. routes. All other roads are the responsibility of the local
city or county entity.
ITD and the Idaho State Police caution
motorists to slow down and pay attention when driving in work zones, where
increased speeding fines and other penalties apply. Motorists are encouraged to
plan ahead and dial 5-1-1 or visit 511.idaho.gov for information
on the state highway or interstate system.
