If you have questions please contact Kevin Kuther (208-344-0565) or kkuther@lhtac.org.
Idaho Standards for Public Works Construction (ISPWC)
The following note was recently incorporated by reference into the ISPWC:
For standards related to the process of submittal, analysis, review, and approval of 129,000 pound truck routes, refer to the standards available through the Local Highway Technical Assistance Council (LHTAC) and the Guide to Assist Idaho Local Highway Jurisdictions in Evaluating Route Requests for Trucks up to 129,000 pounds available on LHTAC’s website.
Bridge:
LHTAC was able to include the top bridge applications in the program, one Local Bridge and two Off-System Bridges, into the FY20 to FY26 Draft Idaho Transportation Investment Program (ITIP) submitted to the Idaho Transportation Board.
The FY20 to FY26 Draft Idaho Transportation Investment Program (ITIP) document will be open for public comment during July 2019. Historically, the Idaho Transportation Board approves the draft ITIP in September and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) approves it in the fall.
Rural:
LHTAC was able to include the top two rural applications in the FY20 to FY26 Draft Idaho Transportation Investment Program (ITIP) submitted to the Idaho Transportation Board.
LHTAC will use this year’s applications and rankings for inclusion into next year’s draft program in spring 2020.
View the ITIP 101 Brochure explaining the ITIP timeline and process. Please do not hesitate to contact LHTAC if you have any questions or need additional information.
