The Idaho Transportation Department will host a public meeting on Wednesday, October 16, to present updated plans for improving U.S. Highway 95 between Dufort Road and Lakeshore Drive in Bonner County.
Project information will be on display between 4 and 7 p.m. at Sagle Elementary School, l550 Sagle Road. Community members are invited to stop by and speak with the project staff at any time during those hours.
Identical information and comment forms will be available online from October 16-31.
“We have updated our preferred concept based on continued engineering work and community input,” Project Manager CarrieAnn Hewitt said. “We appreciate the community’s interest in this project and the feedback we have received so far.”
Since the last public meeting in fall of 2023, the project team has updated design plans to include widening US-95, building interchanges, constructing underpasses and updating the frontage road network.
ITD’s plans for US-95 builds on two extensive environmental studies from 1999 and 2010 between Garwood and the Long Bridge. Both studies have resulted in numerous construction projects since then.
