Date Approved: 2005
The road is used primarliy for logging, agricultrure and residential activities. Periodically, Interstate-90 traffice is temporarily diverted to for accidents and maintenance.
The road was narrow and not durable to support diverted interstate traffic. The bridges were small and did not convey flood waters adequately.
The road was widened to provide adequate shoulders which protects the edges of the travel lanes. The bridges will allow flood waters to flow under with reduced risks of scour or aggradation. A culvert replacement at an un-named creek will allow fish passage. Guardrail installation and sideslope flattening improved roadside safety. The overall response from the public was positive.
