I-84 bridge construction may have holiday traffic impacts

BOISE - Whether you are heading out of town for Thanksgiving, flying out to see the folks for the holidays, or staying home for the holidays, the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) wants your trip to be safe and hassle free, especially if your itinerary necessitates travel along construction-heavy Interstate 84 in the Treasure Valley.

Several major construction milestones will occur over the next few weeks. All will involve traffic impacts during the busy holiday season:

  • On Tuesday night (Nov. 24), flaggers will direct traffic onto the new Vista overpass overnight, starting at 10 p.m. All Vista traffic will be traveling on the new overpass by Wednesday at 5 a.m. This is important information for travelers coming and going from the Boise Airport during one of the heaviest travel times of the year.
  • The old Vista Bridge is set to be demolished in early December to make way for the new interchange, during which I-84 will be closed overnight under the bridge for six nights.
  • Later in December, the Ten Mile Overpass will be taken apart to make way for a new interchange.


Along with this, I-84 also will have intermittent overnight traffic restrictions from Cole to Broadway as the project to widen the interstate continues.
