Years-long closure of westbound Huetter Rest Area along I-90 between CDA and Post Falls begins

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho — The westbound Huetter Rest Area along I-90 between Post Falls and Coeur d’Alene will close to non-commercial vehicles beginning Friday, Sept. 19, at 7 a.m. until 2029.

The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) says passenger cars and pickups will not be able to access the facility.

The eastbound Huetter Rest Area facility is unaffected by these closures and will remain open to both passenger vehicles and commercial trucks. ITD says closures to the eastbound facility aren’t expected until 2027.

ITD says the partial closure is a safety measure to support construction for the I-90 expansion project, as crews will be utilizing the area to stage equipment and materials.

The closure for passenger vehicles will remain in effect until the project is complete in 2029.
