US-95 Sandpoint Byway Guardrail Repair

Guardrail improvements on U.S. Highway 95 near Sandpoint will restore safety features to current standards.

Overview

ITD will repair damaged guardrail along parts of the byway after settling on the structure caused separation.

Project Information

Over time, bridge abutments and adjacent concrete walls on US-95 in this area have settled, causing sections of attached guardrail to drop below current safety height requirements. This project will modify and raise the guardrail where needed to restore proper alignment and improve roadside protection for drivers. The work focuses on maintaining safety standards and addressing areas where the guardrail has separated or no longer performs as intended.

Nighttime construction is expected to begin sometime between June and August and will take approximately one month to complete, with crews working from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. to reduce daytime disruptions for traffic. Motorists can expect short-term impacts, including a single, alternating lane through a brief work zone.

Guardrail that has separated as sections of the roadway and support walls have settled over time.
