Replacement of old U.S. 95 Creek Bridge begins north of Cambridge
WASHINGTON COUNTY - Minor work off the roadway could begin as early as Monday (July 14) on a project to replace the old short-span Creek Bridge on U.S. 95 about seven miles north of Cambridge. This project is expected to be completed in approximately two months.
Traffic impact should be minimal, the Idaho Transportation Department announced. Work may take place outside the roadway. Traffic will be reduced to one lane, guided by a portable traffic signal.
The Creek Bridge, at milepost 120.6, is the oldest structure on the state highway system, built in 1918. The bridge is in poor condition. The existing bridge, which is 14 feet in length and 34 feet wide, will be replaced by a pipe culvert with a 72-inch diameter measuring 56 feet in length.
Knife River Construction Northwest, of Boise, is the contractor on this $350,000 project.
