History

I-90 Business is a segment of former U.S. Route 10 (US 10) and I-90 alignment through Idaho. US 10 was designated in 1927. US 10 and I-90 entered Idaho on Seltice Way at the Washington-Idaho state border. The highways followed Seltice Way and Northwest Boulevard into Coeur D'Alene. The highways followed Sherman Avenue east through downtown town Coeur D'Alene. Then, the highway turned south and followed Lake Coeur D'Alene Drive and Yellowstone Trail along the shore of Lake Coeur D'Alene to the Coeur D'Alene National Forest. The highway moved to the present I-90 route after the freeway and Veterans Memorial Centennial Bridge was completed in the early 1990s.
