I-90 bridges to be repaired starting Monday

Work to repair six structures on Interstate 90 from Bennett Bay on Lake Coeur d'Alene to Kellogg will start Monday.

Bridge decks on interstate ramps at Pine Creek in Pinehurst will be repaired first. A month-long detour to the Kingston exit is planned to be in place while crews work on the eastbound off-ramp.

Crews will move between bridges as they complete repairs, with the ramps at Pinehurst followed by the Airport Road overpass in Smelterville and the Bunker Avenue overpass in Kellogg. Bridges at Bennett Bay and the Kingston overpass are scheduled for improvements in May and June.

Work will pause for six weeks around July to allow water levels to lower so crews can apply protective paint to one structure in Pinehurst in August.

Bridges on the interstate may be reduced to one lane in each direction, and closures for structures over the interstate will vary with the location and availability of detours nearby. Drivers are advised to check 511.idaho.gov for the latest traffic impacts.
