The Honeysuckle Avenue and Fourth Street intersection will close April 25 as Hayden installs its first roundabout. The blue dotted line will be the detour route.
Hayden is installing its first roundabout, and city officials are asking for drivers' patience during construction.
Work began Monday at the Honeysuckle Avenue and Fourth Street intersection to address safety and traffic issues.
The intersection will be closed April 25 through the end of June because of the complicated nature of the utility work.
In addition to construction of a single-lane roundabout, utility work involving North Kootenai Water District, the Hayden Area Regional Sewer Board and the city of Hayden will be completed to upgrade main sewer and water lines.
The extended closure will allow for the project to be completed earlier than expected. It will be an inconvenience to many who live east of the intersection and those accessing Honeysuckle Beach. A detour will be in place on Strahorn Road and Hayden Avenue.
City staff ask for the public’s patience.
Welch Comer is managing the project. LaRiviere Inc. is in charge of construction.
