Lewiston — On Nov. 10 the Lewiston City Council authorized Resolution 2025‑51, a state‑local agreement to apply roughly $2,000,000 in grant funding toward safety improvements on Bridal Canyon Road.

Public Works Director Dustin Johnson told the council Bridal Canyon has experienced multiple serious accidents over the past five years and that the proposed work would include a mill‑and‑overlay to increase pavement friction, rumble strips, additional warning signs and delineators. "This is $2,000,000," Johnson said. He cautioned that because the corridor is large the award will not cover the entire project and staff expect to program the remaining work into the 2027 construction budget.

Johnson described the typical timeline: secure grant, complete design and LTAC coordination, then move into construction once engineering and funding are aligned. Councilors asked whether particular settlement or landfill sections could be addressed by this work; staff said the mill and overlay would improve the surface but would not fully excavate a long‑standing landfill settlement area.

The council voted to authorize the mayor to sign Resolution 2025‑51 and thanked Public Works staff for pursuing grants that offset local costs.
