Street closure for utility construction in Fort Grounds

Garden Avenue between Military and Park drives in Coeur d’Alene’s Fort Grounds area will be closed to through traffic beginning at 7 a.m. Wednesday.

The closure, which could affect commuting routes and times, will allow contractors for the city’s wastewater utility to replace a deteriorated public sewer main.

Garden Avenue will remain open to local traffic and emergency vehicles only.

During construction, some residents and businesses may be requested to park their vehicles at nearby locations.

“We apologize in advance for this inconvenience,” stated the city’s announcement of the road closure.

This project is expected to take several weeks, possibly through April 14.
