KAMIAH – The Idaho Transportation Department says repairs on State Highway 64 are complete, and the road between Nezperce and Kamiah reopened on Tuesday. The highway had been closed since April 14 after a major storm event caused multiple washouts and structural damage.
“The Idaho Transportation Department and our consultant partners have been working hard to repair and reinforce the highway so that it could be safely reopened this year,” District Engineer Doral Hoff said. “I would like to thank the public for their understanding and patience during the construction.”
The emergency repairs included installation of retaining walls, rebuilding the road base, and paving. Approximately 12 slide locations between milepost 24 and 30 were rebuilt.
