Memorial Bridge lanes in Lewiston to be reduced Tuesday, Wednesday (July 17, 18)
LEWISTON – One lane of the U.S. 12 Memorial Bridge near 3rd Avenue North in Lewiston will be closed Tuesday (July 17) and Wednesday (July 18) for cleaning and sealing of the pier caps, the Idaho Transportation Department announced.
The westbound right hand lane of the bridge will be closed from 6:30 a.m. until about 3 p.m. both days for the repairs. Westbound traffic will be restricted to an 11-foot width because of equipment operating on the bridge deck.
Traffic inbound to Lewiston from the north will be required to use the left (inside) lane of U.S. 12. Motorists should expect delays and slight congestion where the two lanes are reduced to one. In anticipation of the merge, motorists are encouraged to move to the left lane before approaching the bridge.
ITD crews are responsible for the maintenance project.
