AUGUST 25, 2023:
Repair work is scheduled to resume Friday (Aug. 25, 2023) on the previously damaged westbound Interstate 90 structure over US Highway 183 (exit 226) at Presho.
The work is necessary because an over-height vehicle hit the bridge late last fall. The repair project is being completed in three phases which include removal of the damaged sections of the bridge deck, replacement of the damaged girder and installation of new concrete to repair the bridge deck.
The segment of Highway 183 directly under I-90 will be closed to all traffic for approximately four weeks to remove and replace the damaged girder. All on and off ramps at exit 226 will remain open. This work will require the underpass to be closed until approximately Friday, Sept. 22, 2023. Once this girder repair work is completed, Highway 183 will be reopened.
Travel Impacts:
During the scheduled closure, traffic will be detoured as follows:
-
Motorists wanting to head northbound on Highway 183 to travel westbound on I-90 will be required to take I-90 eastbound to exit 235 (Kennebec) and exit from I-90. Motorists will then reenter the westbound side of I-90 to once again travel west toward exit 226/Highway 183.
-
Motorists wanting to head southbound on Highway 183 to travel eastbound on Interstate 90 will be required to take exit 225 and then travel to exit 226/Highway 183 south.
