BONNERS FERRY — Lane closure on North Hill on U.S. 95 near MP 508 due to dip in road.
Idaho Transportation Department crew noticed a 6-inch dip on U.S. 95 last week, Megan Jahns, ITD Public Information Officer wrote to the Herald.
The lane is closed and an investigation into the cause has begun.
A culvert buried about 25 feet underneath the road is failing, Jahns said. Emergency repairs are underway as of today to plug the old culvert and modify the drainage system on the North Hill.
Over the next two weeks, drivers should prepare for lane(s) to be closed in either direction. Traffic will still be able to get through but expect congestion.
