Highway repaving begins Sunday (May 21) with nighttime detours on Federal Way ramps in Boise
BOISE – The Idaho Transportation Department will replace deteriorated pavement on four highways in Boise this summer, starting with Broadway Avenue in Boise on Sunday night.
The project will begin with overnight detours on the Federal Way ramps at Broadway Avenue the nights of May 21-26. Detour routes will be marked for each ramp between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. each night. https://itd.idaho.gov/wp-admin/media-new.php
Crews will work in four locations between May and August:
- Broadway Avenue (US-20) between I-84 and University Drive
- Glenwood Street (SH-44) between Chinden Boulevard and State Street
- Chinden Boulevard (US-20/26) between Cloverdale Road and Eagle Road
- The River Street Exit from the I-184 Connector
The majority of paving on Broadway is expected to be completed in late June. Crews will then move to the next location. In each area, lanes and speed limits will be reduced at night.
“We are asking the community to bear with us during periods of nighttime noise and traffic delays,” said ITD Design/Construction Engineer Daris Bruce. “ITD is scheduling this work at night to keep all lanes open during the busy daytime hours. Our goal is to work quickly and move to the next location.”
Additional work will be necessary this summer at the intersection of Broadway Avenue and Boise Avenue. This area was damaged by a water main failure in December.
