Overview
Improving this section of State Highway 53 will provide consistency between previously expanded segments of the corridor, including Sylte Road to Latah Street in Rathdrum and areas near the Pleasant View Interchange.
Planned improvements include a continuous center turn lane, allowing drivers to turn off the highway without impeding through traffic, and right-turn lanes at select intersections, to be determined through further analysis of crash data and turning movements.
This project is part of a broader, phased approach to improving the SH-53 corridor, which was informed by public input gathered during a 2020 online open house focused on long-term safety, access, and traffic needs.
Construction-2029
This section of State Highway 53 from Bruss Road to Latah Street is scheduled to begin construction in 2029.
