The Idaho Transportation Department is taking
public comment on 26 bridge projects on highway
routes across the state. The bridges will be
built as funding becomes available.
That list includes five spans in the Idaho
Panhandle; the Round Prairie Creek Bridge,
Highway 95 at Mile 529.96 in Boundary County,
the Kalispell Creek Bridge, Idaho 57 at Mile
34.097 in Bonner County, the Cedar Creek Bridge,
Idaho 3 at Mile 57.117 in Shoshone County, and
the Santa Creek Bridge, Idaho 6 Mile 32.483, and
the Little Hangman Creek Bridge, Idaho 60 at
Mile 0.105, both in Benewah County.
Cost of each project is currently estimated at
$1-million.

Bridges are an important part of the state's
highway infrastructure. Improving them is part
of the transportation department's mission to
provide safety, mobility and economic
opportunity.
Public comment on these projects is being taken
through Saturday, December 10. Comments can be
e-mailed to
adam.rush@itd.idaho.gov, faxed to (208)
334-8563, or mailed to: Idaho Transportation
Department, Attn: Adam Rush, 3311 W. State
Street, Boise, ID 83703.
Those with questions about the bridges can
contact Rush at
adam.rush@itd.idaho.gov or at (208)
334-8119.
The public is also invited to provide online
feedback and comment on several proposed public
transportation projects throughout Idaho. Public
comment will close January 26.
The Idaho Transportation Department - Public
Transportation Office has a total of $1.2
million dollars available to fund capital
projects such as buying buses, improving
structures or building new infrastructure.
Included on the list are public transportation
proposals in Bonner, Kootenai and Shoshone
Counties.
Gathering public comment is the best way for ITD-PT
to know what users of public transportation want
and need and respond in the best way to serve
customers. With a limited pool of funds to draw
from, public comment is critical to help in the
application process of recommending which
proposals receive money.
To look at the proposals and give feedback,
visit
itd.idaho.gov/pt or call Rachel Pallister at
(208) 334-8822 or you can send emails to
Rachel.Pallister@itd.idaho.gov. |
