Is Fourth of July Pass open right now?

Updated August 19, 2026 · Pictures refresh every few minutes

Only Idaho 511 can say. Open the official Idaho 511 map for today’s status on I-90 east of Coeur d’Alene. That page is the rule.

Then look at the summit stills below to see the road for yourself.

The first of two summits

Driving east from Coeur d’Alene, Fourth of July is the first of two I-90 summits — the second is Lookout Pass at the Montana line, with the Silver Valley between them. Commuters between Coeur d’Alene and the Silver Valley cross Fourth of July every day, and clear at one summit does not mean clear at the other.

Why I-90 can be closed when the picture looks fine

A clear picture does not cancel a posted rule. Idaho closes or restricts I-90 for crashes, spun-out trucks, and snow removal on the grades. Night glare can look like ice, and an old picture can lie. The posted status always wins.

Check again before you leave

The I-90 Idaho traffic desk keeps the rule link and the full camera walk in one place.
