The Idaho Transportation Department says construction on U.S. Highway 95 north of the Spokane River Bridge near Coeur d’Alene is expected to begin tomorrow (Wed). The work to widen the highway will last four months and traffic will have only one lane in each direction to get through the work zone.
Drivers are advised to plan extra time to travel U.S. Highway 95 or when accessing downtown Coeur d’Alene. The highway includes one lane in each direction in the area, with a sharp corner near the intersection of Lincoln Way and Walnut Avenue.
The construction work will remove the concrete median in the center of that intersection so that additional through- and turn-lanes can be built.
