Facelift on 44-year-old Cloverdale Bridge to start in late June
BOISE -
The first major resurfacing of the Cloverdale Overpass bridge deck will take
place in late June, after Spalding Elementary School (at the base
of the bridge on the north side) lets out for the summer.
The project on the Cloverdale bridge (circa 1966) is expected to be completed
by the end of July. Similar to the Five Mile bridge deck project last
summer, it will be short in duration, but with a complete
closure during work.
Besides the resurfacing, the approaches to the bridge will be rebuilt and paved about 50 feet back from the bridge deck.

In 2007, two exterior bridge girders over the eastbound lanes of I-84 were
replaced due to an over-height truck load striking the underside of the
structure in July 2006.
Currently, 12,000 vehicles per day pass over the Cloverdale bridge. By 2030, it
is expected to see more than 20,000 vehicles per day.
