Interstate 90 eastbound to be reduced to one lane over the Wallace Viaduct starting Wednesday
COEUR D’ALENE – The eastbound driving lane on Interstate 90 over the Wallace Viaduct will be closed through the winter as the result of a damaged bridge joint. The closure begins Wednesday (Oct. 24), the Idaho Transportation Department announced.
A bridge joint was damaged over the Memorial Day weekend, and a temporary steel plate was placed over the joint. The temporary repair does not allow for winter snow removal in the eastbound driving lane.
The speed limit has been reduced to 55 mph through the one-lane area.
A permanent joint repair will be done by state maintenance crews in the spring.
