Public invited to share comments on Strong Creek bridge replacement in North Idaho April 12
COEUR d’ALENE—The Idaho Transportation Department will host a public meeting April 12 to share plans to replace the bridge over Strong Creek in the town of East Hope near Sandpoint on the business route of Idaho Highway 200.
The meeting will be held from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Memorial Community Center in Hope at 415 Wellington Place. The public is welcome to arrive at any time to talk to project staff and provide comments.
Work to replace the bridge is scheduled for summer 2020. Construction will likely require the complete shutdown of the bridge, with traffic currently planned to detour on ID-200 around the work zone for most of construction.
Comments will be collected from April 12-26, 2018. They can be emailed to the project manager Lee Bernardi at Lee.Bernardi@ITD.idaho.gov or mailed to the office at 600 West Prairie Avenue, Coeur d’Alene, ID 83815.
Those who cannot attend may learn more about the project and comment online by visiting www.itd.idaho.gov/d1, selecting projects and finding “ID-200B: Strong Creek Bridge.”
