ITIP Public Comment Period Open: JULY 1-31
This project was previously programmed for construction in 2029. Due to recent changes in transportation funding and the need to prioritize projects essential to maintaining the existing transportation system, the project remains in the seven-year plan but is now proposed for construction in 2031.
Comments on the draft Idaho Transportation Investment Program, or ITIP, will be accepted July 1-31 on this project and others in the seven-year plan as part of an annual comment period.
Overview
This project will preserve the existing pavement on US-95 improving ride quality and helping extend the life of the roadway.
Scheduled for construction in 2031
Project Status
This project is currently in the design phase and will address a section of U.S. Highway 95 between the Kootenai River Bridge in Bonners Ferry, and U.S. Highway 2, commonly called 3-Mile Junction. The project team is evaluating pavement conditions to determine the most appropriate preservation treatment, which may include options such as surface treatments, mill and inlay, or other roadway improvement strategies.
Benefits of pavement preservation include:
- Extends the life of the existing pavement
- Improves ride quality for drivers
- Addresses surface wear before more significant deterioration occurs
- Reduces the need for more costly reconstruction in the future
- Maintains a safe and reliable roadway
