Pine Creek Pass Closures Planned

The Idaho Department of Transportation has announced plans to close Highway 31 over Pine Creek Pass on Thursday as part of their major construction work on a bridge four miles east of Swan Valley at Mike Spencer Canyon. The closure is to take place from 2:00 am until 5:00 pm. Motorists will have to seek alternate routes. While the road closure is only anticipated to take place on one day, the construction project is expected to continue until September 25th. The bridge rehabilitation will entail replacing the bridge expansion joints, re-surfacing of the bridge deck, repairing the storm water drains, improving the erosion control on the bridge embankment, replacing the guardrail at the approaches, improving the bridge approaches and finishing with new pavement
