REMINDER: Westbound I-84 Broadway on-ramp to be closed this weekend
BOISE - The westbound
on-ramp at the Broadway Interchange will be closed for reconstruction this weekend (8 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m.
Monday, Oct. 15-18), the Idaho Transportation Department announced.
Motorists wanting to enter westbound I-84 at Broadway will be re-directed onto
eastbound I-84, where they will travel a few miles to the Gowen Interchange to
turn around and access westbound I-84. Check ITD's Facebook page here for a map of the detour.
The on-ramp will be
raised 16 inches over the weekend to match the new westbound lanes on I-84.
ITD is widening and
reconstructing I-84 between the Broadway and Cole/Overland interchanges. I-84
will be eight lanes wide when the project is completed in summer 2011.
ITD and the Idaho State Police
advise 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.
