The North Latah County Highway District has closed the Rock Creek Road Bridge across the Palouse River, just outside the Potlatch city limits.
According to a press release from the highway district, the bridge will remain closed until further notice due to damage from ice jams during high water earlier this month.
The NLCHD and the Idaho Transportation Department are working on a solution to re-open the span as soon as possible.
