GOVERNMENT WAY SIGNAL AND ADA IMPROVEMENTS

Due to our mild weather, the City of Coeur d’Alene is beginning a major traffic signal upgrade on the Government Way corridor, from Harrison Avenue to Prairie Avenue. The project includes upgrading all traffic signal components, bringing pedestrian ramps into ADA compliance, and providing coordination between signals for improved travel time.  The project is being funded by a Strategic Initiatives Grant through the Idaho Transportation Department.

The contractor, Thorco Inc. will begin construction on Monday, January 20^th.  The first intersection will be at Government Way & Wilbur Avenue followed by Government Way & Canfield Avenue. All work and additional intersection scheduling will be weather dependent.

The project will begin now with completion by August 2025.

During construction, signals will be periodically decommissioned and traffic restrictions will be in place, prohibiting left turns and cross traffic across Government Way. Only one intersection will be impacted at a time to allow traffic to use other signalized intersections for travel.

Advanced notifications will be in place to warn travelers of upcoming restrictions as the contractor moves from intersection to intersection.

PLEASE EXPECT DELAYS AND PLAN YOUR TRAVEL ACCORDINGLY
