Highway 41 improvements on tap for 2019

Rathdrum’s Patricia Jenson calls her work commute on Highway 41 to Post Falls an “adventure.” “There’s an interesting mix of commuters with farm and commercial traffic,” said Jenson, who has been making the drive for eight years. “I’ve seen it all — accidents, near-misses, people stranded along the road causing a traffic mess.” Jenson said Highway 41 between Post Falls and Rathdrum needed to be widened years ago and the improvements can’t happen soon enough. She said she’s relieved to hear that a plan calling for right of way acquisition in the corridor next year and road construction improvements are slated for 2019 at the south end of the corridor from Post Falls and 2021 on the north end into Rathdrum./Brian Walker, CDA Press.
