Weather permitting, highway construction in Bonners Ferry is expected to end before Thanksgiving.
Minor work on sidewalks and landscaping will continue through the month but highway traffic will not be stopped.
Over the last two years, the highway has been rebuilt from Kootenai River Bridge to Alderson Lane with a continuous center turn lane through town and pedestrian facilities on both sides.
A second phase of construction between Alderson Lane and Labrosse Hill Street is scheduled for 2023 and 2024 and will extend a similar design to better serve mobility and safety in the area.
