Update for January 11, 2008

Daily closures will begin Monday, January 14th. The schedule for January through mid-May is finalized and the calendars are posted under the Travel Info section. You can view the January 2008 travel calendar here  (Acrobat, 30 KB). We’re working to find the best fit for the 30-minute delays in summer, so that calendar isn’t posted yet.

We’ve also posted an Emergency Response Plan  (Acrobat, 292 KB) outlining how emergency services will be provided during various road closure scenarios.

A note to upriver residents... if you need to get through the project at a certain time during the nightly delay period (8 pm to 6 am), please contact Marla at Debco Construction’s office at least three hours ahead of time.  Marla’s daytime number is (208) 628-3279.  Between 8 pm and 6 am call (208) 827-0388.

Please be extra cautious as you drive through the construction zone.  There will be a lot of interesting construction activity but everyone needs to keep their eyes on the road for the safest passage through the project.
