Update for March 11, 2010
For the week of March 15th to March 19th the Contractor will be working days and possibly nights. Day work forming and placing rebar for the grade beam at Wall 6 along with a concrete pour. Also, continued subgrade work, “pecking” rock slopes, and possible utility vault and/or drop inlet installations time permitting. Possible night work will consist of hauling stockpiled waste material from the Lake Creek Bridge area back to the waste area across from the Riggins Rodeo Grounds and “pecking” away at rock slopes.
The Contractor plans on possibly working nights (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday) this week, weather permitting. Be aware of the road construction opening / closure schedule for night work.
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 and temporary traffic signals placed for your safety, and everyone else’s safety also.
Here is a glance at the week of March 15th through March 19th showing the schedule for road openings / closures:
