Expect delays on I-90 Sunday, ITD says
Drivers should expect delays on eastbound Interstate 90 between Post Falls and Coeur d’Alene on Sunday as crews complete striping in the work zone to expand the freeway to four lanes.
Work will begin around 7 a.m., with traffic reduced to one lane and the speed limit lowered to 45 mph throughout the day, the Idaho Transportation Department said in a press release. Due to the temperatures needed for the paint to dry properly, this work cannot be done overnight.
“This is one of the last weather-dependent tasks we have to complete before winter, and this weekend just might be our last chance to do it with the conditions needed,” project manager Tom Trutter said. “We’re doing it Sunday when traffic is lighter, but congestion is still expected so we’re asking drivers to plan extra time and be patient through the work zone.”
New variable speed limit signs will also soon be activated along the I-90 corridor during the expansion project.
