Pavement rehabilitation will close ID-53 to one lane next week
POST FALLS - Crews will grind down the existing roadway and repave sections of Idaho Highway 53 north of Post Falls on Wednesday, Sept. 6 which will require restricting traffic to one lane.
Construction is expected to start at 5 a.m. and end at 5 p.m. The repair work will start at the Washington border and extend for seven miles to the east. This fixes four areas of the road severely damaged during this year's historic winter.
Flaggers will be on scene to direct traffic. However, local traffic is advised to use alternative routes to avoid construction.
Northwest Road and Drive, of Coeur d'Alene, is the contractor for this project, part of a $1.7 million rehabilitation of roads deteriorated by this past winter.
