Travelers heading west on Interstate 90 near Coeur d’Alene this afternoon should prepare for delays as crews make emergency repairs to three bridges. Westbound traffic is limited to one lane, and the speed limit has been reduced to 55 mph from near milepost 12 to milepost 9, said Cpl. Ron Sutton of the Idaho State Police. The reduced speed limit is expected to remain in effect through April. At times today traffic has flowed at just a crawl, and vehicles have backed up as far as the interchange with Highway 95, he said/Parker Howell, Spokesman-Review. More here.
DFO: I posted this b/c I got snagged in the back-up traffic for quite awhile at the start of a trip to Spokane this p.m. You might want to use Seltice Way instead.
