COEUR d'ALENE— Sherman Avenue and Second Street were temporarily closed Friday morning as construction crews poured concrete for the upper-level of the new Sherman Tower. 

This will be followed by a final upper-level concrete pour on May 15, with temporary road closures to be expected. 

More internal concrete pours are scheduled but are not expected to impact traffic or cause road closures.
