REMINDER: I-84 westbound ramp detours continue tonight (Wednesday, Feb. 2) between Broadway and Cole BOISE - A series of I-84 westbound ramp closures will continue tonight (Wednesday, Feb. 2) as the Idaho Transportation Department installs new
signage.
The detours will affect
westbound traffic at the Broadway, Vista and Orchard interchanges between 10
p.m. tonight and 5 a.m. Thursday.
- At the Broadway Interchange, the westbound on-ramp
(to I-84) will be closed. Motorists who need to enter westbound I-84 will be
directed south on Broadway and through a detour route to Vista Avenue, where
they can access I-84.
- At the Vista Interchange, the westbound off-ramp
(from I-84) will be closed. Westbound motorists who need to exit at Vista
Avenue must exit early at Broadway and follow the same detour route to Vista
Avenue.
- At the Orchard Interchange, motorists who need to
exit at Orchard must exit early at Broadway, follow the detour route and
re-enter I-84 at Vista.
The detour route will be south of the interstate and will be
marked with signs and flaggers. A map of the route is available here.
All lanes and ramps will be open on eastbound I-84. At least
one lane of westbound I-84 will be open between the Broadway Interchange and
the Wye Interchange.
The work will be rescheduled in the case of inclement
weather. Drivers are encouraged to check 5-1-1 for updated information.
Restrictions will continue at the Orchard ramps on Thursday
night.
The new signage is part of a project to widen I-84 to eight
lanes between Broadway and Cole/Overland. The project is scheduled to be
completed in summer 2011.
