Segments of U.S. 95 in Payette County to be micro-sealed this summer
BOISE - Several stretches of rural U.S. 95 in Payette County will be resurfaced in a brief project expected to start around July 15, the Idaho Transportation Department announced.
This project puts a micro-seal on U.S. 95 from the intersection of U.S. 30 in Fruitland, north through Payette. It covers also U.S. 30 from the intersection of U.S. 95 west to the Snake River bridge.

A micro-seal is comparable to a seal coat but is premixed and applied as a slurry. The micro-seal is often used in higher-traffic areas in place of a seal coat, intended to protect and extend pavement life and provide improved vehicle traction.
The road will then need to be re-striped in the project area, but that cannot be done until about a week after the micro-seal work finishes so that it has a chance to properly set up.
All work is expected to take place overnight, from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.
VSS International, of West Sacramento, Calif., is the contractor on this $554,000 project.
