COUR D'ALENE, Idaho - The Coeur d'Alene River Ranger District is asking people who are planning an outing to the forest, to plan ahead and be prepared for construction delays.
Road construction will continue into the fall the the Ranger District is warning people that alternative routes may be unpaved, narrow and may prove challenging for vehicles towing large trailers.
The Ranger District say the Spruce Ridge Road #205 and Upper Coeur d’Alene Road #306 are expected to have up to three hour traffic delays, as well as possible night work, for repairs and brushing.
The Grizzly Ridge Road #260 and Brown Grizzly Road #409A from the Stull Saddle area to Riley Saddle Area will have roadside brushing activities.
Pothole and asphalt repairs are planned for the Coeur d’Alene Deception Creek Road #612 as a large number of potholes will be repaired from Fernan Saddle to Windy Ridge Saddle.
The road is narrow and traffic control signs will be used to assist traffic through the construction area while asphalt repair work occurs.
The Forest Service says repairing the roads is a high priority as it tries to meet the needs of increasing use from who want to enjoy the forests.
