ITD to share revised design for I-90, US-95 Interchange at open house Tuesday

The Idaho Transportation Department will host an open house next week in Coeur d'Alene to share information and gather input on a revised design for the Interstate 90 and U.S. Highway 95 Interchange. Following an open house in March, ITD revised the design based on public feedback to accommodate better access between US-95 and Appleway Avenue on both the east and west sides of the highway. The public will have an opportunity to provide input on access concepts and the overall project design.

Open House details:

Date: Tuesday, November 18

Time: 4 p.m. - 7 p.m. (drop in anytime, the whole family is welcome!)

Location: Best Western Plus Coeur d'Alene Inn

506 West Appleway Avenue, Coeur d'Alene, ID 83814

For those not able to attend the open house, an online option will share the same information and provide an opportunity to submit feedback. The online open house will be available November 18 at https://www.i90us95project.com. Comments submitted before December 5 will be considered as official feedback by the project team.

"Public involvement is a crucial component of ITD projects. The revisions to the proposed design directly address comments we heard at the previous open house and demonstrate a strong commitment to including the public in the design process," ITD Project Manager Joey Sprague said. "We are eager to continue engaging with local businesses, residents, and interested parties to create a design that improves safety and mobility, while reflecting the needs and priorities of the community."

The design is funded by Governor Little's Leading Idaho initiative and is the first interchange project to emerge from the I-90, SH-41 to 15^th Street Corridor Study. The goal of the proposed design is to expand the interchange, enhance safety, and improve mobility to support future traffic volumes, which are expected to double by 2045.
