Westbound I-90 exit to Highway 41 closes overnight starting Monday
From Nov. 9 through late December, the Exit 7 off-ramp closes 8 p.m. to 5 a.m., Monday through Friday. Here's the detour.
Starting Monday, Nov. 9, the westbound Interstate 90 off-ramp to Highway 41 at Exit 7 in Post Falls will close overnight, Monday through Friday, through late December, the Idaho Transportation Department and the City of Post Falls announced.
WHEN
- Closures start at 8 p.m. and the ramp reopens by 5 a.m. the next morning.
- Monday through Friday nights only.
- Crews will pause the closures over Thanksgiving and Christmas to ease holiday travel.
WHY
Crews are digging and building retaining walls near the interchange.
THE DETOUR
While the ramp is closed, keep going west on I-90 to the next exit at Seltice Way and follow the signed detour. Every other ramp at the Highway 41 interchange stays open.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
This is part of the Idaho Transportation Department's I-90 widening project between Post Falls and Coeur d'Alene, which began construction in 2025. ITD had warned in September that nighttime closures of this off-ramp would come once excavation and reconstruction of the westbound lanes began as part of the widening project, which is expected to continue through 2029.
