US-26 Danskin Canal bridge replacement construction now underway
BLACKFOOT - Replacement of the Danskin Canal bridge, on US-26 at milepost 303.38, began today (Monday, Nov. 5). Construction will enhance the existing bridge structure, and will include roadway resurfacing.
The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) is working with Wadsworth
Brothers Construction and Wilson & Company, using a design-build
process specifically created to streamline production, reducing time and
expenditure.
The Danskin Canal bridge replacement is part of
an ITD project to replace 17 bridges in eastern Idhao.
"We have worked to maintain mobility on the roadways during each of
these projects throughout the course of construction," said Bryan Young,
ITD Resident Engineer. "We want to make this as easy as possible for
everyone."
Allowable lane widths will be reduced to 12 feet.
Oversized loads traveling through the work zone must contact Young at (208) 745-5682.
Construction for the Danskin Canal bridge will take place in two phases. This phase will not disrupt traffic. Phase Two will begin in February 2019 and traffic will be reduced to one lane, with temporary traffic signals through April 2019.
