COEUR d'ALENE - Eastbound traffic on Interstate 90 between Fourth of July Pass and Idaho 3 (mileposts 31-35) will be reduced to one lane for pavement work beginning Monday (Aug. 11), the Idaho Transportation Department announced.
Crews will grind and repave this four-mile section of I-90 and then replace the centerline.
