U.S. 95 Lewiston Hill highway project takes another step toward an early summer start with announcement of Apparent Low Bidder
LEWISTON - The resurfacing of a seven-mile stretch of U.S. 95 on Lewiston Hill is now one step closer to a projected start early next summer, with the announcement of an Apparent Low Bidder. Knife River Corp. Northwest, Boise, submitted a bid of $11.5 million.
Knife River’s bid was the lowest of four received on the project. Bids were opened at ITD’s headquarters in Boise Oct. 21.
Work on this project will involve a mill-and-inlay at depths ranging from two to five inches, CRABS (Cement Recycled Asphalt Base Stabilization) treatment at the top of Lewiston Hill, repairing soft spots near the Port of Entry at the top of the hill, and replacing median barrier and guardrail on the highway.
The project is expected to last approximately three months, ending in late summer 2015.
