Project Sponsor
East Side Highway District
Purpose
The purpose of this project is to rebuild and pave approximately 24,000 square feet of gravel outside the city of Coeur d’Alene on Sunnyside Road, between Bonnell and Yellowstone Roads. This project will also line the roadside ditches with riprap to prevent future erosion and sediment discharge and install small check dams within roadside ditches to reduce stormwater flow velocity. These improvements will decrease sediment discharge to Coeur d’Alene Lake at Blue Creek Bay and improve travel for the community.
Funding
This project was awarded $643,840 from Governor Little’s Leading Idaho initiative.
Status
This project has one layer of chip and seal left before completion. This will occur spring 2024.
Outcome
This project is expected to decrease phosphorus loading from sediment discharge into Coeur d’Alene Lake at Blue Creek Bay and improve travel for the community.
