SH 51 Blaine County

Construction on SH 51 in Blaine County began earlier this week. The new section will consist of a 5″ thick bonded concrete overlay placed on the newly milled surface of the existing HMA pavement. The contractor, Duit Construction, placed about 20oo’ before deciding to stop paving due to high temperatures. The contractor is planning on switching to night paving to avoid further temperature limitations and reduce inconvenience to the traveling public.
