Roadwork on U.S. 95 scheduled this summer in Adams County
BOISE - A brief project on U.S. 95 in Adams County between the Trail Creek Bridge and Pinehurst is slated to begin in July and finish a few months later, the Idaho Transportation Department announced. This area of the highway is bordered on one side by the Little Salmon River.

The project will address retaining-wall instability and add stream barbs to protect the roadway embankment at three locations in this 4.7-mile stretch. Stream barbs are rock structures extending into a stream to modify flow patterns. They are commonly used to minimize erosion by steering the fastest current away from the eroding bank. Crews will then replace the roadway pavement removed to fix the walls and slope.
The project also will include about 900 feet of guardrail repair.
Debco Construction, of Orofino, is the contractor on this $762,000 project.
