Pavement preservation to begin on Idaho 52 and Idaho 16 week of May 18
BOISE—Work on Idaho 52 and Idaho 16 near Emmett to place a chipseal will start the week of May 18. This work will extend the life of the existing pavement. The project will continue until mid-June.
Construction will occur in the following locations throughout Ada, Gem and Payette counties:
- Idaho 52: Hamilton Corner to Idaho 16 junction (mileposts 14 to 30)
- Idaho 16: Idaho 44 junction to Idaho 52 junction (mileposts 100 to 113)
Both roadways will remain open during construction, but reduced to one lane in the work zone with a pilot car and flaggers assisting motorists. Construction is scheduled Monday through Friday during daytime hours, with some brooming operations scheduled overnight. Delays of up to 15 minutes are expected.
Knife River is the project contractor. The contract amount is $1.3 million.
ITD reminds drivers to slow down and pay attention.
