State, Hayden to host open house

The City of Hayden will host a drop-in style open house to introduce plans for a Ramsey Road Sewer Main improvement project from 4-6 p.m. March 21 at City Hall.

The project’s scope will range from Dakota to Wyoming avenues, and include construction on the sewer and waterline, as well as replacing the street surface. Multiple improvements will be done at the same time to minimize costs of construction.

Anyone from the community is invited to attend to ask the project team questions, review designs or concepts, and give comments in the open house.

The improvements are projected to cost roughly $2.2 million, which would be shared between the city, entities and developers.

Construction is estimated to begin in the next 1 to 3 years, and the project would take roughly three months to complete.

In other road news, the Idaho Transportation Department will also be hosting an open house to present design concepts for the Interstate-90 and 15th Street Interchange from 4-7 p.m. March 21 at Coeur d'Alene Fire Station 3.

With traffic volumes expected to double by 2045, ITD is studying the I-90 corridor to identify improvements to modernize the system, reduce crashes and save drivers’ time.

The open house will focus on just the 15th Street Interchange. Updates on the overall corridor study will be shared at an open house later this summer, though responses to the most common comments have been published at media.itdprojects.org.

For anyone unable to attend, the information will be available on March 21 at itdprojects.org/i90corridor and an online survey will be available there until April 4.
