Idaho Transportation Department now taking comments for all upcoming projects

COEUR d' ALENE - The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) is asking for input on the just-released draft Idaho Transportation Investment Program (ITIP). The 2022-2028 ITIP is a seven- year master plan of the state’s transportation improvements, and every July everyone is encouraged to participate.  

 

Projects can range from large-scale interstate improvements to smaller projects like the installation of a new guardrail. In all, the draft ITIP includes projects in all 44 counties and all modes of transportation. Projects were selected based on technical data, as well as input from local officials and residents. 

 

A complete breakdown of the draft plan can be found at itd.idaho.gov/funding, as well as an interactive map that allows users to learn about projects by narrowing it down to specific categories and locations. 
 
A few of the major projects in North Idaho include: 

  • Widening of Idaho Highway 53 between Washington and Rathdrum, with various sections set for construction in 2022 and 2025. 
  • Painting of the US-95 bridge over the Spokane River south of CDA in 2023. 
  • Redesign of the interchange at I-90 and Idaho Highway 41, with construction planned to start in 2023.

Comments will be taken from July 1-31 and can be e-mailed to ITDcommunication@itd.idaho.gov or mailed to:

Attn: Office of Communication 
P.O. Box 7129 
Boise, ID  83707  

 

Paper copies of the ITIP will be provided upon request by contacting the Idaho Transportation Department (208) 334-8119.  

 

All comments will be reviewed, incorporated into the ITIP where appropriate, and responses will be sent in September once the comment period has ended. 
 
After approval by the Idaho Transportation Board in September, the ITIP will then be submitted to the Federal Highway Administration, the Federal Transit Administration, and the  Environmental Protection Agency in October.
