Work starts on casino interchange
The Aht’Wy Interchange project on US 95/12
which is near the Clearwater River Casino & Lodge RV Park is
currently in its earliest construction stages. After a well-attended
groundbreaking ceremony this past April, contractors are getting
started and motorists can expect some changes in traffic patterns.
The initial stage will consist of work
in the median area to construct crossovers to facilitate traffic needed
for future stages. Once this work is complete, the contractor will make
changes to the traffic patterns and reconstruct the northbound lanes.
During these initial stages, travelers can expect single lanes in each
direction. Please drive safe and be mindful of construction workers and
equipment working close to the roadway.
The new diamond-shaped interchange will
replace current at-grade intersection with an overpass to access the
plaza, on the east entrance. This includes additions of deceleration
and acceleration ramps for eastbound traffic. As for additional
infrastructure, a broadband conduit and pedestrian walkway will be
included in the construction.
