Governor Inspects Highway Progress from Boise to Lewiston

Idaho Governor C. Moore toured the North and South Highway to assess status and justify criticism. About 200 miles of the 328 mile route from Boise to Lewiston are in good condition, while 12 miles between New Meadows and Round Watley await a bridge. Only 23 miles remain unfinished from Round Valley to Lucille in several sections with finished portions. The State Highway Department estimates 470,000 is needed to finish these parts, with at least 200,000 already spent on last year’s contracts. Two or three engineers supervise under federal aid covering 50 percent. Temporary clearing from gas tax funds 48 is underway, and further spending is deemed wasteful until contracts complete the road.
