Update for April 30, 2009
For the week May 4th through May 8th, the Contractor plans on drilling and installing micro-piles @ Wall 10, possibly starting the excavation at Wall 11, possible culvert installation(s), catch basins, and/or installing utility vaults as time permits.
There will be no night work this week. The roadway will be open to the public 6:00pm to 8:00am.
There is no work on Friday, May 8th and the road will be open to the public.
The 61st Annual Riggins Rodeo is here!! The road will beopen to traffic with no delays between Thursday (April 30th) evening at 6:00pm and until Monday (May 4th) morning at 8:00am. Please use extreme caution when traveling through the project area.
For those of you planning on visiting the area to camp, hunt, fish, and/or just to enjoy the area, the Salmon River Road may have changed since your last visit, so please be cautious and patient when traveling through the construction area and abide by the signs placed for your safety, and everyone else’s safety also.
Here is a glance at the week of May 4th to May 8th showing the “revised” mid-day road opening/closure times

For something a little more exciting, and undoubtedly more entertaining than road construction, make sure you plan to attend the 61st Annual Open Riggins Rodeo in Riggins, Idaho, May 2nd and 3rd
