Several high priority culverts at multiple locations along U.S. Highway 95, Idaho State Highway 8, and Idaho State Highway 3 are being rehabilitated to extend the culverts’ service lives.
The repairs will be conducted in the following order and locations:
SH-8 just past Troy at milepost 16
SH-3 between Kendrick and Deary at milepost 27
US-95 south of Grangeville and near White Bird Grade at mileposts 238 and 239
Motorists should exercise caution when traveling through the work zones. Crews will try to minimize impacts to traffic and most of the work should be off the roadway.
Each culvert should take about a week to complete before crews move on to the next one. All of the culvert repairs are estimated to take about a month to complete.
Culvert liners will be installed, and scour holes will be repaired. In addition, some trees may be removed, and rock will be placed to armor the inlets and outlets. According to the Idaho Transportation Department, the work will ultimately extend their useful life, avoiding more extensive repairs and disruptions to traffic in the future.
