I-84 and Garrity will be closed briefly near the Garrity Interchange Sunday morning (Feb. 21) for rock removal
BOISE - The Idaho Transportation Department will momentarily stop traffic on I-84 and on Garrity Boulevard near the Garrity Interchange Sunday morning (Feb. 21), while crews demolish and remove a rock outcropping.
The
closure is anticipated to last only 15
minutes and occur sometime between 7
a.m. and 9 a.m., weather permitting. 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 time may be rescheduled or delayed in the case of fog.
The
closure is necessary for the safety of workers and motorists traveling
through the work zone. Additional closures will be necessary later this month
to complete the rock removal.
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.
