POST FALLS, Idaho — A project to update the pipeline along Seltice Way between McGuire and Chase roads was approved by the Post Falls City Council on Tuesday.
Andrew Arbini, projects division manager for the Post Falls public works department, said the pavement in that area is in poor condition. He said interim repairs including patching provided a temporary fix to get the roadway through another season.
“Seltice is a heavily used corridor, and it’s a priority project we’ve been looking at for the last couple of years,” Arbini said.
Analysis from a geotechnical survey of that stretch of road was used to evaluate the priorities based on its condition. The stretch of road still has the U.S. 10 highway concrete underneath.
Public works staff noted the road discoloration and delamination of layers of the roadway have built up over time to a degree that they're almost having to patch the patches.
“It's kind of like tree rings, every application that’s occurred,” Arbini said.
