Press Release from Idaho Transportation Department

COEUR d’ALENE. Idaho – Drivers on U.S. Highway 95 at the Spokane River Bridge in Coeur d’Alene should plan for delays of up to 30 minutes on Thursday, April 4, 2024, as crews conduct a routine inspection of the bridge structure during daylight hours.

This process requires the use of an under bridge inspection truck (UBIT) which features a platform that can lower crews beneath the structure for inspection. The truck will be positioned atop the bridge, requiring the closure of a single lane to allow for crews and equipment to safely complete their work.

During this time traffic will be reduced to a single lane utilizing flaggers to control the flow of traffic.

Travelers are encouraged to use an alternate route and refer to the Idaho 511 system to be aware of work zone impacts.
