🏛️ Government
Local transportation officials announced that key roads in Post Falls and Coeur d'Alene will be closed due to construction work starting today.
Drivers should follow posted detours and allow extra time as crews complete the repairs.
Northwest Boulevard’s on-ramp closure forces drivers to detour via Appleway Avenue, which adds about 12 minutes to their commute.
The Idaho DOT advises using alternative ramps on Sherman Avenue, 4th Street & 15th Street as the I-90 expansion project continues until 2029.
The Northwest Boulevard on-ramp to I-90 westbound is closed for two weeks as part of an expansion project shifting traffic next month.
Drivers must use alternate ramps with detours like Appleway adding about 12 minutes — check other options near Post Falls.
