US-95 Bridges Improvement Project95
WelcomeThank you for attending tonight’s public open house. The purpose of this open house is to give you an opportunity to:
• Review the proposed design for the US-95 Bridges Improvement project
• Learn what to expect during construction
US-95 Bridges Improvement Project95
Project ObjectiveTo improve safety on US-95 by replacing aging bridges and adding turn lanes at two intersections.
Deep Creek Bridge
Washington and Idaho Railroad (WIR) Bridge
Jct ID-6 Turn Bay
Kennedy Ford Road Turn Bay
To Potlatch
To Palouse
To Moscow

Environmental EvaluationAs part of the federal-aid process, ITD must gather information on existing natural and physical resources as well as the environment in the project area. The project will prepare an environmental categorical exclusion to document project effects on the environment.
Environmental Resources in the project area• Deep Creek• Wetlands along Deep Creek• Floodplains• Cultural/historic bridges: WIR and Deep Creek bridges
Environmental Process• Inventory environmental resources that could be impacted• Avoid or minimize impacts where possible• Section 4(f) Evaluation required to evaluate impacts and possible avoidance of
historic bridges• Environmental evaluation for full range of resources prepared for National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance• Permitting for Deep Creek Bridge and floodplain impacts

Project Staging
Jct ID-6 and WIR Bridge StagingConstructed in two stages with one lane one-way traffic and a temporary signal used in both stages.Northbound direction constructed first, followed by southbound direction. Travel lanes will be 11 feet wide during construction.
Deep Creek Bridge StagingConstructed in two stages:Southbound direction will be constructed first with
two-way traffic using existing roadway. Northbound direction will be constructed second
while leaving one lane for one-way traffic with a temporary signal.
Travel lanes will be 11 feet wide during construction.
