Boekel Road to be closed to through traffic beginning Monday

COEUR d'ALENE - Boekel Road between U.S. 95 and Government Way will be closed to through traffic beginning Monday and will remain closed through Friday, the Idaho Transportation Department announced.

The work is part of a major reconstruction project on U.S. 95 from Wyoming Avenue to Idaho 53.

The week-long closure is the result of rain delays in May and June. Access to businesses on Boekel will be maintained.

The contractor for the $6 million project is Interstate Concrete and Asphalt of Coeur d'Alene. The project is funded with savings from federal highway stimulus projects bid earlier this year. The project is expected to be completed by October.

The Coeur d'Alene Water Department will be temporarily closing Neider Avenue from U.S. 95 to Fruitland Lane to through traffic for three days beginning Monday to replace a 12-inch water main.

Neider should be reopened by Thursday.

The southern lane of Neider Avenue will have daily closures for about 10 days to complete the water main installation. The businesses affected will have continuous customer access from the Fruitland Lane side of Neider Avenue.
