BYPASS: Oregon offers model to consider

| February 23, 2024 1:00 AM

An article in your Feb. 17 edition detailed efforts by our state to study traffic on the Rathdrum Prairie, identifying potential trouble areas and giving direction on improvements to mitigate them. I am glad that they’re out ahead of future problems instead of taking a reactive stance after it is too late to do so.

Over the years, there has been talk of a Huetter Bypass, taking traffic from I-90 up to the Lancaster Road area at the north end of Hayden. I have always thought this to be a wonderful idea to divert traffic from U.S. 95, which continually becomes more congested as the area develops.
