Crews will apply a SAFLEA (Stress-Absorbing Fiberglass Layer with Emulsified Asphalt) and Hot Mix Asphalt overlay to the highway surface. The SAFLEA treatment is a seal coat with a coating of chopped glass fibers between the oil and gravel aggregates to enhance durability and reduce cracking.
The work on Idaho 52 is from Hamilton's Corner to the intersection of highways 52 and 16, and on Idaho 16 from that intersection south by a mile and a half to the spot where last year's overlay stopped.
Most work during this two-month project will take place during daylight hours on weekdays, but nighttime and weekend work is not prohibited if needed. On any work overlapping Idaho 16, work will be prohibited during weekday morning and evening rush hours.
The speed limit will be reduced to 45 mph through the immediate area of construction.
