COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho – Beginning Monday, crews with the Idaho Transportation Department will close the eastbound off-ramp at Exit 15 on I-90 in Coeur d’Alene to remove hazard trees.
The ramp will be closed daily from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
Idaho Transportation says “Removing unhealthy trees in the area will reduce the risk for them to fall during windstorms onto traffic, adjacent structures, and utilities. Taking out the trees will also mean less pine needles and debris that could build up and clog the drainage system.”
During the closure drivers can access downtown by exiting the freeway at Exit 14 and taking 15 Street south to Sherman Avenue.
The next available off-ramp for drivers is Exit 17 at Mullan Trail Road two miles to the east.
Signs are in place throughout the I-90 corridor in Coeur d’Alene to alert travelers of the closure.
