Lane closure next week

POST FALLS - The inside westbound lane nearest to the median of Interstate 90 at Post Falls will close Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. as crews place concrete pier footings for the new Greensferry overpass, the Idaho Transportation Department announced.

Electronic message boards will be used to give motorists advanced warnings about the upcoming lane closure. Crews are working on the center pier, but no lane restrictions are needed for that work.

Construction started in December and will be completed in the fall.

When completed, the new structure will feature two lanes in each direction, a center turn lane, bicycle lanes and sidewalks on both sides.

Ralph L. Wadsworth, of Draper, Utah, is the general contractor for the $15 million project.

The Post Falls Urban Renewal Agency funded the project.
