SH-64 now open after months of repairs following April landslides

KAMIAH - Repairs on State Highway 64 are complete, and the road between Nez Perce and Kamiah reopened this morning. The highway has remained closed since April 14 after a major storm event caused multiple washouts and structural damage.

"The Idaho Transportation Department and our consultant partners have been working hard to repair and reinforce the highway so that it could be safely reopened this year," District Engineer Doral Hoff said. "I would like to thank the public for their understanding and patience during the construction."

The emergency repairs included installation of retaining walls, rebuilding the road base, and paving. Approximately 12 slide locations between milepost 24 and 30 were rebuilt.

Members of the media are invited to a ribbon cutting with the Idaho Transportation Department, county commissioners and contractors on Thursday at 9 a.m. The event will be held at the pullout near milepost 27 overlooking Kamiah, with parking reserved for invited guests. ITD will provide safety vests for attendees.
