I-84 and Garrity will be closed briefly near the Garrity Interchange Sunday morning (Feb. 28) for rock removal
BOISE - The Idaho Transportation Department will stop traffic on I-84 and on Garrity Boulevard near the Garrity Interchange Sunday morning (Feb. 28), while crews demolish and remove a rock outcropping.
The
delay is anticipated to last a maximum
of 15 minutes and occur sometime between
7 a.m. and 9 a.m. weather permitting. The closure time may be rescheduled
or delayed in the event of fog.
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 delay is necessary for
the safety of the workers and motorists traveling through the work zone.
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.
