Garwood Road west of U.S. 95 closure update
COEUR D'ALENE - Garwood Road west of U.S. 95 will be re-opened for the weekend, beginning Thursday (May 7) at 5 p.m., the Idaho Transportation Department announced.
The road will remain open until 6 a.m. on Monday (May 11). It will then close again until 5 p.m. on Friday (May 15).
The closure is necessary to accommodate the construction of the southbound lanes on U.S. 95 at the intersection. Alternate detour routes are in place and variable message signs have been put in place to warn motorists of the closure and detour.
The project will widen and realign U.S. 95, from S.H. 53 to Ohio Match Road. The contractor for this $13 million project is Central Washington Asphalt, of Moses Lake, Wash. The project is expected to be complete by September.
