There are some explosively good things online these days, including the Idaho Transportation Department’s very own YouTube channel.

ITD has posted a video on its YouTube channel of the final blasting event on Sept. 23 at the site of the rockslide on Highway US-95 south of Riggins.

The ITD YouTube channel is easy to find. Just fire up YouTube in your choice of browser and type “idahoitd” in the search box. The channel also has all the video of the previous blasting event plus several videos of the scaling work and removal of those 24-foot diameter rocks the two early July slide events dropped on the roadway. While surfing the channel, check out the video for ITD’s sliding bridges and the footage of the avalanches on SR-21.
