US-95/12 Aht’Wy Interchange enters first construction phase
LEWISTON - The Aht’Wy Interchange project on US-95/12 near the Clearwater River Casino & Lodge RV Park is currently in its earliest construction stages.
After a well-attended groundbreaking ceremony April 12, contractors are getting started and motorists can expect some changes in traffic patterns.
The initial stage will consist of work in the median area to construct crossovers to facilitate traffic needed for future stages. Once this work is complete, the contractor will make changes to the traffic patterns and reconstruct the northbound lanes. During these initial stages, travelers can expect single lanes in each direction.
Please drive safely and be mindful of construction workers and equipment working close to the roadway.
The new diamond-shaped interchange will replace the current at-grade intersection with an overpass to access the plaza, on the east entrance. This includes the addition of deceleration and acceleration ramps for eastbound traffic. A broadband conduit and pedestrian walkway will also be included in the construction.
