I-84 eastbound ramps at Broadway Avenue to close Oct. 19 - Oct. 21 for construction
BOISE - The I-84 eastbound on- and off-ramps at Broadway Avenue will close from 8 a.m. Friday (Oct. 19) to 6 a.m. Monday (Oct. 22) for the I-84 Broadway to Eisenman rehabilitation project, the Idaho Transportation Department announced.
Crews will use the weekend to dig out old concrete pavement under the interchange structure before paving the roadway.
The weekend digout and paving will nearly complete the fall construction schedule near the Broadway Interchange. Occasional nighttime lane and ramp closures are still expected near Broadway for re-striping and guardrail installation. A final layer of asphalt pavement will be laid in the spring.
The I-84 Broadway to Eisenman pavement rehabilitation project covers 6.1 miles of roadway from just west of the Broadway Interchange to just east of the Eisenman Interchange.
Construction moved to the Gowen Interchange area last week, and is expected to continue until mid-November. The Gowen Interchange westbound ramps are closed until late October. The eastbound ramps are expected to close next.
"We're following an aggressive schedule to complete the majority of work before temperatures drop," said ITD Region 3 Engineer Daris Bruce. "The construction schedule depends on good weather this fall."
The project will shut down for the winter months and resume in the spring. ITD expects a summer 2008 completion.
Motorists are encouraged to dial 5-1-1 or visit 511.Idaho.gov for driving information on I-84. Lane restrictions will be in effect at night near the Broadway Interchange, and 24 hours a day near the Gowen and Eisenman interchanges.
