Resurfacing of Idaho 21 section from Idaho City to Mores Creek Summit starts June 23
BOISE - A 13.3-mile pavement-rehabilitation project on Idaho 21 from the Idaho Transportation Department’s maintenance shed at Idaho City, to the Mores Creek Summit, is expected to begin Monday (June 23). The project should finish by mid-September.
Crews will conduct pavement repairs, fix frost heaves and improve drainage, both north- and southbound, from milepost 39 to 52.3. They also will mill about 1/4-inch from the surface, trench across and along the road at various locations, seal cracks in the pavement and smooth the surface to apply a double seal coat.
Crews will work a 7 a.m.-to-7 p.m. schedule Monday through Thursday, and be off the road by noon on Fridays. There will be an intermittent speed-limit reduction to 35 mph, only one-lane available initially, with a pilot car and flaggers used to guide motorists.
Knife River Corp. Northwest, of Boise, is the contractor on this $1.6 million project.
