Hatch Road work postponed

A bond issue project to reconstruct Hatch Road between 43rd and 54th avenues is being postponed until late summer so it won’t interrupt traffic during the summer vacation and recreation season, city officials said.

Hatch Road is considered a main connector to the city-owned Creek at Qualchan Golf Course just off U.S. Highway 195 in the Latah Valley.

The project is now expected to start after the main part of golfing season ends, said spokeswoman Ann Deasy. The $1.5 million project will involve a full curb-to-curb excavation and rehabilitation. It is part of a $117 million streets bond issue approved by voters in 2004.
