Road striping to impact US-95 in Coeur d'Alene Sunday

COEUR d'ALENE — Drivers traveling U.S. Highway 95 through Coeur d’Alene on Sunday should expect slower traffic and possible delays as crews with the Idaho Transportation Department paint the highway lines between Lancaster Road and the Spokane River Bridge.

Crews will begin work around 6:30 a.m. and expect to finish by 4 p.m., according to a press release from ITD.

This is a high-traffic area with many intersections and signals, so extra caution is needed.

Idaho State Police will assist with additional patrols in the area. 

Drivers should be patient, give the paint crew plenty of space, follow posted signs, and avoid crossing over wet paint lines.

Upcoming striping projects, weather and conditions permitting, also include US-95, SH-1 and US-2 in Boundary County July 21-28, SH-52 from the Washington state line to US-95 July 29-31, SH-41 from Mullan Avenue to Rathdrum August 4-6, and US-95 from the Spokane River Bridge south to Sanders Road.

Additional routes may be added to the schedule as time allows.

Striping work must be done during the day as light and warmth is needed to be applied safely and effectively, ITD said.
