[left]Road to C.J. Strike Reservior in Elmore County to be rebuilt and paved starting this spring or summer[/left]
[left]BOISE - The Dam Cutoff Road carrying recreational traffic to the C.J. Strike Reservoir area in Elmore County will be paved in a project beginning this spring or summer.
[/left]
Western Construction Inc. of Boise is the apparent low bidder on the project. In the bid opening Tuesday, their bid of $1.86 million was the lowest of five contractor's bids submitted.
The Idaho Transportation Department cautions that the road will be closed during construction, which is expected to take 5-6 months.
This route is one way to get to C.J. Strike, but possibly the least-common route. However, the improvements will make it a more desirable route, and will shorten the trip from Mountain Home to the dam.
The Strike Dam Cutoff Road currently is a two-lane unpaved rural route in rolling terrain. The project begins at the intersection of Idaho 67 and extends about one-quarter mile north of the C.J. Strike Dam, from about milepost 100-107.
The paving is designed to provide a safer route, and save on annual maintenance costs
This project is locally sponsored by the Mountain Home Highway District.
