Public support for $18 million St Mariel road upgrade
At a Wednesday public hearing in St Mariel Idaho residents endorsed an $18 million project to widen and improve 23 miles of road from Calder to Avery on national forest land. The plan aims to improve safety and access for logging and recreation while some oppose it as part of an ongoing environmental impact study. Eight witnesses spoke and officials note work could occur over the next decade with hillside cuts and landfills in places. The hearing was led by the Federal Highway Administration with help from the Idaho Department of Highways.
