Dust abatement project rescheduled for Tuesday, Wednesday on Idaho 7
LEWISTON - A dust abatement project planned last week for Idaho 7 near Orofino was rescheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday (May 24, 25) because of wet conditions, the Idaho Transportation Department reported.
Crews from Atlas Sand & Rock will apply magnesium chloride on the route between mileposts 37 and 49 to help reduce dust. Work should be completed by Wednesday evening, weather permitting. Crews will work 12-hour shifts, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Motorists should anticipate delays of 10-15 through the work area and are urged to drive carefully through the area. Traffic will be controlled by flaggers.
