Update for February 24, 2010
For the week of March 1st to March 5th the Contractor will be working days and nights. Day work consists of finishing installing micropiles, along with forming and placing rebar for the grade beam at Wall 6. Also, continued subgrade work, “pecking” rock slopes, and possible utility vault and/or drop inlet installations time permitting. Night work will consist of hauling stockpiled waste material from the Lake Creek Bridge area back to the waste area across from the Riggins Rodeo Grounds.
The Contractor plans on working nights (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday) this week. Be aware of the road construction opening / closure schedule for night work.
Be aware of the road opening / closure times in the schedule for the remainder of February through March 5th.
For those of you planning on visiting the area to camp, hunt, fish, and/or just to enjoy the area, the Salmon River Road may have changed since your last visit, so please be cautious and patient when traveling through the construction area and abide by the signs and temporary traffic signals placed for your safety, and everyone else’s safety also.
Here is a glance at the week of March 1st through March 5th showing the schedule for road openings / closures:
