Motorists can expect lane restrictions on U.S. Highway 95 between Payette and Weiser this summer while the Idaho Transportation Department applies a protective sealcoat to the highway surface. The project will extend the life of the asphalt.
Construction will begin in Weiser and progress north nine miles. After that section is complete, work will resume in Weiser and move south toward Payette. All work is expected to be completed by mid-July.
Motorists can expect that:
- Work will take place from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday. On Fridays work will end at 12 p.m. All lanes will be open on weekends and outside of working hours.
- US- 95 will be reduced to one lane in the work zone. Flaggers and pilot cars will direct traffic.
- Speed limits will be reduced, and 12-foot lane restrictions may be in place.
