Night lane closures to begin on I-90

Next week, travelers can expect nighttime lane closures on Interstate 90 near the Huetter rest area west of Coeur d’Alene, reports the Idaho Transportation Department.

Temporary lanes will be built in the median this fall to maintain traffic flow during bridge maintenance scheduled for next spring.

Work is expected to take place overnight Monday through Friday between 7:30 p.m. and 5:30 a.m. until mid-October.

As part of this project, crews will also preserve surfaces of bridges in Post Falls this fall that pass over the interstate. Bridges include those at Idaho Street, McGuire Road, Seltice Way and Pointe Parkway. Sealing the surface of each bridge is expected to take approximately one week, and during that time, at least one lane of traffic will remain open.

For updates on the bridges, check with Post Falls assistant city engineer Rob Paulus at 208-457-3331. Other traffic impacts on the state system may be found by visiting: 511.idaho.gov
