US-12 Clearwater Memorial Bridge to fully open by Wednesday

LEWISTON-Starting Wednesday morning the Clearwater Memorial Bridge on U.S. Highway 12 will be fully open. The newly constructed west side of the bridge is now complete and ready to accept both traffic and pedestrians.

Travelers can now use wider travel lanes, shoulders, median and sidewalks. In addition, with the new bridge up to current standards, there are no longer reduced weight restrictions for heavy loads.

A deck seal and additional light construction is slated for early summer 2025 to finalize repairs to this 1951 structure.

Construction began in 2023 for an estimated cost of $38.3 million and was federally funded. For more information about the project please visit itdprojects.idaho.gov/pages/us12memorialbridge.
