Flowery Trail is a major thru fare that connects Pend Oreille County to Stevens County. It is a direct route from Usk to Chewelah and saves users over an hour of drive time if they had to use Highway 20 or Eloika Lake Road. 49 Degrees North, a popular ski resort, is located off of Flowery Trail.

The existing pavement was in very poor condition with numerous patches and there were several roadside hazards such as non-standard guardrail terminal ends, non-beveled culvert ends, utility pole in clear zone, and side slope areas that are not constructed properly.

The pavement was replaced with full depth reclamation, cement treated base and hot mix asphalt. All the roadside hazards were corrected including relocating the utility pole. The many users of Flowery Trail, including commercial haulers, value the new all-weather road that allows safe and efficient driving in all seasons.
