Repairs to rockfall fencing starts tomorrow on the Lewiston Grade

Tomorrow morning construction will begin on U.S. Highway 95 near the top of the Lewiston Grade to repair fencing that protects travelers from falling rocks.

During weekdays from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., northbound traffic up the grade will be slowed to 45 mph and reduced to one lane. Southbound travelers heading into Lewiston will not be impacted by the construction.

Drivers can also expect to see crews working on the slope above the fencing to knock down any unstable rocks prior to fixing the fence.

Construction is slated to conclude mid-June.

These repairs cost about $157,000.
