COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho – It’s almost construction season in North Idaho.
Several bridges around Coeur d’Alene will be repaired this summer with construction starting on April 4.
The first project will focus on the US-95 bridge over Northwest Boulevard. The steel railing will be painted and crews will remove and replace the surface of the structure.
It is expected to take two months to complete the project and during that time, southbound drivers will not be able to use the left turn lane on the bridge to access downtown.
Other bridges set to be improved this season include the following:
The Idaho Transportation Department said impacts will vary by bridge and by type of work, with some work zones scheduled to be in place for a few days to a few months.
A different project slated for later this summer will address repairs to another six bridges in the Coeur d’Alene area, including the Spokane River Bridge on US-95.
