New traffic sensors coming to Cd'A

COEUR d’ALENE – State crews will be installing new traffic sensors on U.S. 95 through Coeur d’Alene, beginning Sunday night (June 19), the Idaho Transportation Department announced.  Traffic signals from Ironwood to Hayden Avenue will be affected.

Work will begin at Ironwood and crews will work north to Hayden. Work hours are 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. through Wednesday night (June 22).

Installation of new sensors will require lane closures through the work zone area.  Cores will be drilled in the pavement and sensors placed in each travel lane.

The sensors will improve activation at each intersection, and will aid in the synchronization of all traffic signals in the U.S. 95 corridor through the cities of Coeur d’Alene and Hayden.
