About Kern Construction Inc

Riggins sits pinched in a canyon where the Salmon River runs low and dark through winter while the Seven Devils above hold snow well past the thaw down at river level. Kern Construction Inc builds into that same steep ground — foundations and additions cut into canyon-side lots — and when the highway shoulders and driveways ice over, the crew's plows work those same tight grades, clearing the pull-offs and steep drives that make this stretch of Highway 95 its own kind of winter. Rafters and jet boats that fill the river in summer are long gone by the time this crew is out before dawn, working a canyon that goes quiet and hard-edged in the cold months. A cleared driveway on a slope like this is worth more than one on flat ground, and this crew treats it that way.
