CdA to see major road construction this summer

May 11, 2017

Major construction will impact north Idaho traffic in and around the Coeur d'Alene area this summer. Interstate 90, U.S. 95, and other area roads will be impacted. The Idaho Transportation Department is partnering with the city to reach out to the driving public with critical information on these upcoming impacts. There may be five or six projects within a five-mile radius of town. The projects will repair and replace deficient pavements and upgrade routes and signs. You can see a map of the projects by clicking here. The pavement being replaced is deficient, and some of the work can be directly linked to this year's rough winter. These projects will result in more efficient traffic flow, better visibility and improved safety. Drivers are encouraged to slow down, pay attention and be aware. There will be lane closures, lane shifts, reduced speeds, and delays. Motorists may need to plan alternate routes if possible. One of the best things a driver can do is check the traveler information system at 511.idaho.gov frequently.
