The Idaho Transportation Department will replace two bridges on U.S. Highway 95 near Potlatch, with work set to begin this Monday, March 28.
Replacement of the 1947 bridge over the Washington-Idaho Railroad will begin first, followed shortly by work on the 1939 bridge over Deep Creek. As part of this project, turn lanes will also be added at the junction of US-95 and State Highway 6, as well as US-95 and Kennedy Ford Road. During construction, a lane in each direction will be open to traffic but motorists will not be able to pass. Temporary signals at the bridge over the railroad and the SH-6 intersection will control traffic through one-lane sections. Replacement of these bridges is expected to be complete in November.
Open meetings will be held at Potlatch City Hall every Wednesday at 10 a.m. during construction. To see a map of the project area, look below. For updated traffic impacts related to this and other projects in the region, click here. (ID Transportation Dept)
