Expect brief closure on I-84 and Garrity Boulevard near interchange Sunday morning (Feb. 14) for rock removal
BOISE - The Idaho Transportation Department will stop traffic in both directions on I-84 and on Garrity Boulevard near the Garrity Interchange Sunday morning (Feb. 14), while crews demolish and remove a rock outcropping.
The
closure is anticipated to last only 15
minutes and will occur sometime between 7
a.m. and 9 a.m. Traffic will be held about one-quarter mile from the Garrity
Interchange on I-84 (both east- and westbound), and just before the on/off ramps on Garrity Boulevard.
The
closure is necessary for the safety of the workers and motorists traveling
through the work zone.
Additional closures will be necessary later this month
to complete the rock removal. Those closures will only take place on Sunday
mornings.
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.
