CASCADE, Idaho - The Bureau of Reclamation is temporarily diverting traffic on both Lake Way Bridge and Cascade Dam Spillway Bridge May 9 to perform routine inspections near Cascade Dam in Cascade, Idaho.

Traffic diversions will be intermittent between 8:30 a.m. and 3 p.m., as crews inspect the bridges. Dam Road or Vista Point Boulevard can be used to bypass traffic delays.

“This action is necessary to allow work crews to access the bridge safely," said Brent Jensen, facility supervisor. “Normal traffic use will resume as soon as the work is completed."

Cascade Dam was constructed in 1948 and serves as a multipurpose facility, providing water for irrigation, hydropower, recreation and flood control.
