Highway 51 road work announced

A project to rehabilitate about 21 miles of Idaho 51 from Grasmere north to Broken Wagon Flat Road in Owyhee County is expected to begin this spring.

The Idaho Transportation Department expects the project to last about a month and a half, finishing in early June. The speed limit will be reduced, and only one lane will remain open on the two-lane road.
