The traffic in a five-mile section of U.S. 95
from Athol to south Granite will remain on the
southbound lanes this winter as part of the
Garwood to Sagle reconstruction, the Idaho
Transportation Department announced. Unfavorable weather conditions this fall have delayed paving of the northbound lanes. Access on the east side of U.S. 95 will be maintained through the winter. The speed limit will remain 45 miles per hour. Additional signing and delineation will be installed prior to this winter's shutdown of the project, which will then resume in the spring. The project is expected to be completed in the fall of 2014. Scarsella Brothers of Kent, Washington, is the contractor on this $21 million project. |
