Two highways west of Kamiah were closed until further notice due to rockfall and flooding. State Highway 64 is closed from milepost 24 to milepost 30, and State Highway 162 is closed from milepost 14 to milepost 22.
SH-64 and SH-162 closed last night. Besides the significant debris, the road has received structural damage from the washout.
“Crews have been working hard since late last night to clear dozens of debris flows,” Operations Engineer Jared Hopkins said. “Please watch for our operators staffing the barricades and be prepared to turn around or find an alternate route.”
Travelers between Nez Perce and Kamiah are advised to use U.S. Highway 12 and U.S. Highway 95.
Updates on these closures will be posted to 511.idaho.gov. Travelers can also dial 5-1-1 or download the app.
