Pipe Projects
HD4 is planning numerous culvert replacement or rehabilitation projects for the '25 season, with work expected to begin in Fall 2024 after water deliveries have ceased, and continuing until April 2025. These projects are programmed to replace aging culverts, or to replace culverts in support of roadway projects or pavement restoration projects where the culvert life would be less than the expected pavement life. A list of the project locations and descriptions is provided below. Property owners affected by road closures associated with this work will be notified by mail in advance, with information on detour routes and property access during construction.
- Riverside Mora Spillway Phase II 72" RCP extensions w/headwalls. 8 weeks duration.

Other Projects
Orchard Shared Use Shoulder Widening
Project: This project will widen the shoulders between Riverside Road and Indiana Avenue along both sides of Orchard Avenue. At completion this will provide an 11' travel lane, 4' paved shoulder, and 1' gravel shoulder within the roadway.
This project was identified in the 2016 Lake Lowell Bicycle and Pedestrian Access Plan, a multi-agency planning effort funded through the Federal Lands Access Program. The need for shared roadway improvements on Riverside Road and Lake Shore Drive were identified during the planning study and constructed in 2017.
The current project will continue the previous shared use shoulder widening improvements along Orchard Avenue. The project will also replace the Burris Lateral Bridge, add pedestrian improvements at Murphy's Neck, and repair culverts.
Highway District No. 4 was the recipient of a grant through the Federal Lands Access Program. This program is provided by Western Federal Lands, a branch of the FHWA. Western Federal Lands provided the design and will review the daily construction progress. Western Federal Lands hired a contractor to perform the work.
The contractor is responsible for construction and will field questions related to access, dust, and traffic control. The contractor's representative is Jeremy Snow. He can be reached by phone at 986-226-3479 or 208-562-5035 or by email at [email protected].
Construction: Fall 2024 to Fall 2025
