| Flood damage repaired on US 95 south of Lapwai Both lanes of U.S. Highway 95 south of Lapwai at milepost 296 have been reopened following repairs to damage caused by flooding last week. Floodwaters from Lapwai Creek first began eroding the northbound lane on Monday morning, and the Idaho Transportation Department reduced traffic to one lane. Repairs began later that day, with crews bringing in rock to replace what was lost and prevent further damage. “We are happy to return US-95 to normal condition,” Operations Engineer Jared Hopkins said. Traffic impacts and highway conditions are available 24/7 on 511.idaho.gov.  What it looked like last Monday, June 13.  After the washed out area had been rebuilt late last week. Photos by ITD.
