COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho — If you’re going to be driving on I-90 across the Blue Creek Bay just east of Coeur d’Alene any time soon, be prepared to see some changes.
The Idaho Transportation Department says starting September 8, crews will be working in the area to repair and replace expansion joints, which allow the bridge to expand and contract with temperature changes.
While crews work, traffic will be reduced to one lane in each directions. Construction is expected to last through November.
“We strategically scheduled this work for after Labor Day, when seasonal traffic volumes typically decrease,” Project Manager Edward Cabale said. “We know how challenging traffic was during the previous project, and we took those lessons into account as we planned for this one.”
