Interstate Low Bidder On H95 Project

Interstate Concrete and Asphalt of Coeur d’Alene is the apparent low bidder on a project that will eliminate a two-lane, two-mile bottleneck on U.S. 95 north of Hayden, the Idaho Transportation Department announced. The project will widen a two-lane section of U.S. 95, between Wyoming Avenue and the Idaho 53 junction, to connect with four-lane segments on both ends. Widening the highway will create four continuous lanes from Coeur d’Alene to north of Garwood. A traffic signal at Lancaster Avenue also will be constructed, improving safety at the intersection. The project is funded with savings from federal highway stimulus projects bid earlier this year. Construction will begin in the spring 2010 and be completed in the fall/ Idaho Transportation Department . More here .
