LEWISTON, Idaho (AP) - Crews are working to remove a landslide cutting off the main route to Elk City.
The Lewiston Tribune reports (https://bit.ly/1QVvq64) State Highway 14 has been closed since about 100,000 cubic yards of debris slid across the road Feb. 18.
Idaho Transportation Department spokesman Vince Trimboli said he expects to have a better idea on Wednesday of when a lane would open.
Drivers used Newsome Forest Road to bypass the landslide and are expected to do the same Wednesday. Conditions on the dirt road will be evaluated on a day-to-day basis.
Department chief operations officer Jim Carpenter was set to meet with commissioners to discuss the landslide and complaints about the transportation agency’s response to it.
