Idaho State Police have closed off-ramps at Cataldo because water is over the roadway. However, the flooding is not affecting travel on Interstate 90. The off-ramps are expected to be closed for some time, according to a dispatcher.
The Coeur d’Alene River level was at almost 2146 feet of elevation late Monday, about three feet above flood stage. Additionally, Lake Coeur d’Alene is currently just over 2132 feet of elevation. Flooding occurs on the lake at 2133 feet while normal summer level is at 2128 feet, according to Kootenai County sheriff's spokesman Capt. Ben Wolfinger.
The Coeur d’Alene River is expected to remain above flood stage for the next several days. Coeur d’Alene Lake is expected at this time to crest at 2135.55 feet late Saturday.
