UPDATE: Nampa/Caldwell Boulevard work shifts to end of weekend
BOISE - Pavement work will continue this Sunday evening on eastbound Nampa/Caldwell Boulevard and construction will start on the final stretch of the westbound lanes, the Idaho Transportation Department announced.
Starting Sunday at about 8 p.m., traffic on Nampa/Caldwell Boulevard will be reduced to one lane in each direction until about 6 a.m. on Monday morning. This schedule will continue for the next two weeks in the westbound section.
The work will begin with pulverizing the westbound lanes, which will allow crews to begin reconstructing the roadway. Pulverizing will begin Monday night, from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., and on Tuesday from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. Flaggers will direct traffic.
The outside, right westbound lane will remain closed during the day for curb and gutter work through Aug. 31.
The section between Midland and Canyon streets is the final stage of a project to reconstruct two miles of deteriorated road surface on Nampa/Caldwell Boulevard. The project also includes a partnership with the city of Nampa to extend curb and gutter along the north side of the boulevard. The roadway work is scheduled for a late summer completion. Curb and gutter work is expected to be completed in early fall.
Central Paving Co. of Boise is the contractor for the $5 million project.
