Caldwell's Kimball Bridge construction delays push expected completion to summer 2027
CALDWELL — Construction on Blaine Street in downtown Caldwell will go into the city’s busy Winter Wonderland season and remain in place until next summer due to unexpected issues. Since February, Kimball Avenue between Blaine and Arthur streets has been closed for the replacement of the Kimball Bridge , which sits over Indian Creek and is a $4 million state-funded project through the Local Highway Technical Assistance Council (LHTAC).
