Project under way to improve pedestrian facilities on state highways through Sandpoint
COEUR D'ALENE - Crews have begun work on a project to improve pedestrian facilities along U.S. 95 and U.S. 2 in Sandpoint. Pedestrian ramps that are Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant will be constructed at numerous locations through the downtown core area and on U.S. 2 at the intersections of Euclid, Boyer and Division streets.

Work is expected to be complete by mid-September.

 

Work also will be done on U.S. 95 at the following locations:

- Superior/First to Cedar to 5th

- Pine Street to First

- Fifth Avenue, from Larch to Cedar (west side)

- Fifth Avenue, from Larch to Cedar (east side)

 

Pedestrian detours of less than a block will be in place at each work zone area.

 

The contractor is working Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. each day.

 

This project is one of six statewide that will improve pedestrian facilities on the state highway system.  The projects are being constructed using federal stimulus funding.

 

Paul Construction, of Meridian, is the contractor on this $519,000 project..
