Notice of Proposed Amendment # 13
I-90 Passage Multi-Plate Culvert, Kootenai Co.
Modification of Design, Concept and Scope
The Kootenai Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (KMPO) has received a request from the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) to amend the design, concept, and scope of the current I-90 Passage Multi-Plate Culvert Rehabilitation Project, renaming the project to Boat Passage Bridge, Kootenai Co.
The original project sought to repair the existing boat passage structure at milepost 20.6, which consists of a 15-foot diameter corrugated metal pipe under I-90. However, upon further investigation during the Type, Size & Location (TS&L) process, it was discovered that the pipe’s corrosion and vertical alignment require a replacement of the structure. The recommendation is to replace the culvert with a new bridge founded on bedrock to address the issue of vertical alignment for continued passage beneath the interstate.
This amendment allows for the change to the project design, scope and concept as outlined. No additional funds are being requested.
This proposed amendment #13 to the 2026-2033 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is now available for public review and comment. The 30-day public comment period is from July 22, 2026 until August 20, 2026.
