POST FALLS — The Idaho Transportation Department is repairing two bridges in Kootenai County this year, beginning this spring with the Greensferry Overpass in Post Falls and continuing with the Highway 41/Highway 53 bridge this summer in Rathdrum.
Construction is set to begin Sunday night on Greensferry Road above Interstate 90 in Post Falls, with completion expected by mid-June. Repairs will be made to bridge fencing and railings and the driving surface will be sealed.
Work impacting traffic is planned to take place at night between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. The bridge carries two lanes of traffic in each direction with sidewalks on both sides.
Upon completion of the Post Falls project, crews will shift their focus to the bridge on Highway 41 and Highway 53 over the railroad tracks in Rathdrum.
Work is expected to begin between June and July and the project is anticipated to be finished by late autumn. Drivers can expect nighttime lane closures on the bridge, adjacent intersections and pedestrian detours.
