Resurfacing to close Blacks Creek exit 64 Tuesday (June 16)
BOISE -Work to resurface the travel lanes (right-hand lanes) on I-84 at Blacks Creek east of Boise will close the exit on Tuesday (June 16), the Idaho Transportation Department announced.
During the 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. closure, traffic will be detoured via the old construction crossovers in place on each side of the overpass at Blacks Creek (Exit 64). Two-way traffic will be maintained during the work.
The westbound side will be repaired June 16, with the eastbound side resurfaced June 17. The westbound off-ramp will be closed while crews are working on the area in front of the ramp on the westbound side. Motorists will use Eisenman Road (Exit 59) for a detour route. No ramp closure will be necessary for work on the eastbound side.
Electronic message boards will be posted in advance of the work to warn motorists of the impending closure.
Western Construction of Boise will perform the rotomilling, and Idaho Sand & Gravel of Nampa will perform the repaving. Central Paving Inc. of Boise will provide the asphalt. ITD maintenance forces will provide the traffic control, material hauling, water truck, roller and pick-up brooms.
