Project to resurface Lincoln Way bridge on U.S. 95 in Coeur d'Alene to begin Monday (Aug. 3)
Contractor's crews will resurface the
roadway and bridge deck. New curb,
gutter and sidewalk will be installed at the Appleway intersection. The old pavement will be removed and
replaced with a new asphalt surface. A new video detection system also will be installed at the Ironwood and
Appleway intersections, to replace the outdated detection loops embedded in the roadway surface.
Most of the work directly impacting
traffic will be performed Monday through Friday, overnight from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. Additional work also may be performed
on weekends. Motorists may
experience minor delays as traffic is reduced to one lane in each direction
across the bridge. Flaggers will
guide traffic through the work zone area. Work is taking place at night to lessen the impact to motorists.
The contractor for this $1.2 million
project is N.A. Degerstrom, of Spokane, Wash. Work is expected to be complete by mid-October.
