ITD repairs I-90 in CdA area

Idaho Transportation Department officials said people’s lives were at stake when pavement on Interstate 90 through Coeur d’Alene broke apart earlier this winter.

The department put together a $450,000 emergency repair project to patch the potholes that opened during a midwinter thaw.

The work was done during nighttime hours on two days in late January.

Most of the pavement failure occurred in the more heavily traveled right lanes in both directions, said Mike Lenz with ITD.

The job called for firing up a hot asphalt plant so the patches would bond well with the existing pavement/ Mike Prager , SR. More here .
