Drivers should plan for alternating lane closures next week as crews continue making repairs to the Perrine Bridge.

Next week workers will apply a sealant to both sidewalks on the bridge to protect them from weathering. The closures will be staggered so only one lane or one sidewalk will be closed at a time. Lanes will be closed so that the contractor can access the sidewalks and will be open at night when workers are not present.

  • Wednesday through Friday (Nov. 15-17)
    • The sidewalk on the west side of the bridge will close for repairs. The adjacent southbound lane will be closed.
  • Friday through Sunday (Nov. 17-19)
    • The sidewalk on the east side of the bridge will close for repairs. The adjacent northbound lane will be closed.

Maintenance will last through spring of 2024 and includes repairs to the sidewalks, the railing and cracks to extend the lifespan of the bridge. Some of the steel supports will also be painted for protection from weathering.

Activities are dependent on weather conditions. Travelers should stay up to date on impacts by visiting 511.idaho.gov or downloading the 511 app.
