Road and Traffic Report

Lewiston Road and Traffic Report

July 19th - July 23rd

During peak construction season, typically April through October, we send out road and traffic reports each week, or as they are available, to help members of our community plan the quickest, safest, and most reliable routes to their destinations. This report is intended to provide information about various street preservation projects within City limits that impact the roadways. See the schedules below.

WHO'S PERFORMING THE WORK?

The City of Lewiston Public Works Department has contracted with Knife River Corporation - Mountain West of Boise, Idaho to perform Annual Street Preservation, which includes the application of seal coat followed by fog sealing work on various city streets.

The department has also contracted with Morgan Pavement Maintenance of Middleton, Idaho to perform work on Annual Street Preservation, which includes the application of slurry seals. This work will take place on various city streets and alleys.

Drivers can expect to encounter short-term road closures while work is being performed. Drivers should also expect to travel with reduced speeds for up to a week after the material is applied and rock is loose.

Hours of operation for projects will generally be between 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

As with all construction, unforeseen conditions could alter schedules. If that happens, we ask for your patience and cooperation.

THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF STREET PRESERVATION

What is slurry seal?

Slurry seal is the application of a mixture of water, asphalt emulsion, aggregate (very small crushed rock), and additives to an existing asphalt pavement surface. A slurry seal is similar to a fog seal (see below) except the slurry seal has aggregates as part of the mixture. This process can help extend the life of a road by 5-7 years.

What is seal coat?

Also known as chip seal or pavement sealing, this is the process of applying a protective coating to asphalt-based pavements to provide a layer of protection from the elements: water, oils, and U.V. damage. This process can help preserve the life of a road by 5-7 years.

What is fog seal?

Fog seal is a coating of asphalt emulsion (asphalt mixed with water), recycled rubber tires, and grit blended together. It protects your street from oxidation and extends the life of the pavement, binding to the road surface as it dries and leaving a tough film. This process can help preserve the life of a road by 2-4 years.
