Night paving work to begin on U.S.-95 north of Athol next week

ATHOL — Beginning Monday, the Idaho Transportation Department will begin a two-week, nighttime project to grind and repave the center of U.S. Highway 95 from Granite Loop Road to Blacktail Road north of Athol.

Work will begin at 7 p.m. every weeknight and end by 5 a.m. the following morning, returning traffic to its normal pattern. 

Overnight flaggers will assist drivers through the work zone using a single alternating lane of traffic to allow space for crews to work.

Drivers should expect the potential for delays and use Idaho 511 to plan ahead.
