Highway 57 Project - Forecast for the week of October 20, 2025

We have approximately 350 feet remaining to dig this fall and then we will focus on cleanup and connecting the new line into Lift Station #5.  Our parts have finally arrived which will allow us to complete this connection.

Hydroseeding has been completed for the fall and the crew is focusing on installation of culverts and repairing driveways.  No paving will occur this fall as it is getting too cold but all approaches will be graveled with 9" of crushed rock which will get us through the winter.  Paving will occur in the spring/summer 2026.

Completion of the project clear up to Millies is very unlikely this fall.  Idaho Dept of Transportation will not allow digging in the right of way once snow begins to fall which as we all know can occur any time now.

We will pick up where we leave off next spring once conditions allow.  Progress should be much more rapid due to a shallower dig and the experience gained thus far.

We will continue to alert homes and businesses along the excavation path when work is imminent and will keep any disruptions a short as possible.
