Vista Traffic Alert: Girder placement will delay traffic on eastbound I-84 Tuesday night (Sept. 22)
Eastbound I-84 will be closed under the Vista Interchange
overnight from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. Traffic will be directed to exit and re-enter I-84 using
the eastbound ramps.
Work on the new bridge deck will continue until Sunday (Sept. 27). All lanes will be open on I-84 during the day, and at least one lane
will be open in both directions at night (10 p.m. to 5 a.m.).
ITD is reconstructing the interchange to improve traffic
flow and safety. The project is expected to be complete in the fall of 2010.
The $17.8 million construction project is funded through the
federal stimulus program, created to generate jobs and help boost Idaho's
economy while upgrading our foundation for future economic growth.
Central Paving Inc. of Boise is the contractor.
ITD and the Idaho State Police caution motorists to slow
down and pay attention when driving in work zones, where increased speeding
fines and other penalties apply. Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead and
dial 5-1-1 or visit 511.idaho.gov for information on the state highway or
interstate system.
