The federal government project, "ROAD 221 REHABILITATION" (ID FS NEZPR117 221(1)), is managed by the Federal Highway Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation, Western Federal Lands Highway Division. This initiative focuses on pavement preservation, subexcavation, pavement repair, and drainage improvements along a 29.70-mile stretch within the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest in Idaho County, Idaho. The project encompasses various construction techniques, including chip seal, micro surfacing, full-depth reclamation with cement at different depths (8-inch and 12-inch), deep patching, crack sealing/filling, and shoulder repair. It also involves the installation of pipe culverts of varying diameters (24-inch, 36-inch, 72-inch) and reinforced soil slopes. Erosion control measures such as temporary berms, slope drains, fiber rolls, stabilized construction exits, and temporary diversion berms are detailed, along with specifications for metal pipe culverts and coupling bands. Fieldwork and adjustments were conducted in July-August 2025, with final approval expected by September 15, 2025.
