The Idaho Transportation Department says U.S. Highway 95 four miles south of Lapwai is expected to be limited to one lane of traffic until the end of the week after a section of pavement was washed out by floodwaters.
Crews are currently replacing parts of the roadway that were washed out over the weekend and placing large boulders against the bank to shield the rest of the highway from caving in.
The goal is to have both lanes open as soon as possible and more permanent repairs will be made later this summer.
Regional roads that have been impacted by the rain and are areas to avoid include the Reubens-Gifford Road near Lookout; Rock Creek Road; Southwick Grade; Bobbitt Bench; Cherry Lane Bridge; Fuecht Road; and Webb Road.
According to the National Weather Service, the rain is expected to taper off for a couple of days but will likely return Friday night.
