WALLACE –– Last month, the Shoshone Board of County Commissioners approved a temporary easement between the county and Buell Bros. Incorporated that will allow them to replace a bridge over Elk Creek along Potlatch Road in the southern region of Shoshone County.
Not to be confused with the Elk Creek area of Shoshone County that lies between Osburn and Kellogg, near I-90, this project area is located just a few miles east of Calder.
According to Shoshone County Public Works director Jessica Stutzke, the county has roughly 100 feet of right-of-way near the site, but that doesn’t give them quite enough room to install the temporary bridge structure that will be needed to allow traffic to flow while the project is completed.
