EAST SIDE HIGHWAY DISTRICT

The East Side Highway District was formed in 1971 by an act of the Idaho State Legislature which consolidated eight highway districts and the Kootenai County Road Department. There are now 4 independent highway districts in Kootenai County.

Our maintenance jurisdiction spans from slightly within the City of Coeur d Alene boundary going east to the Shoshone County line and south to the Benewah County line.  Our District is divided into 3 areas.  You will see these referred to as sub districts throughout our documents and website. A detailed description of these three sub districts is available upon request.  

We maintain a total of 242.582 miles of roadway.  Of those miles, 127.895 are dirt/gravel or treated gravel. The remaining 114.686 miles are hard surface roadways.  There are 22 bridges in our jurisdiction along with several railroad crossings, and levees.
