Roads Closed A Week Because Of Flooding

Idaho Highway 14 from Mount Idaho to Elk City will remain closed to trucks and buses through the end of the week as crews work to repair damage from weekend flooding.

Idaho Department of Transportation spokesman Patrick Lightfield said Monday that some areas of the highway were covered with mud. Culverts were washed out and in some areas the road’s shoulder caved in.

“Cars can get through, but it’s a little treacherous for trucks,” Lightfield said.

The National Weather Service reported almost an inch of precipitation on Saturday and an additional .08 inch on Sunday.
