Project to replace railroad overpass on Idaho 52 in Payette begins soon
BOISE - Rehabilitation and resurfacing the railroad overpass on Idaho 52 in Payette is likely to begin Monday (July 14), the Idaho Transportation Department announced. The project is expected to last through mid-November.
The bridge-deck surface is potholed, with worn bridge joints. Crews will rehabilitate the deck of the overpass, built in 1962, to create a better driving surface, remove lead paint and repaint the railing. After the initial set-up of equipment and concrete barriers, one lane of traffic will be open in each direction.
Crews expect to work from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Mondays through Saturdays.
Braun-Jensen Inc., of Payette, is the contractor on this $1.3 million project.
