REMINDER: I-84 westbound on-ramp at Orchard will be closed tonight
BOISE - The westbound I-84 on-ramp at Orchard Street will be closed from 10 p.m. tonight (Thursday, Feb. 3) to 5 a.m. Friday (Feb. 4) while the Idaho Transportation Department installs new signage over I-84.

The closure is the last in a series of ramp closures this week.

Motorists on Orchard Street who wish to enter westbound I-84 will be directed south on Orchard Street, west on Victory Road and north on Cole Road to the Cole/Overland Interchange. The eastbound off-ramp at Orchard Street will be open but restricted to one lane.

Motorists who entered westbound I-84 at Broadway or Vista must exit at Orchard and follow the detour route to Cole/Overland Interchange.

One lane of westbound I-84 will be open between the Orchard Interchange and the Wye Interchange.

A map of the detour is available here.

All lanes will be open on eastbound I-84.

Drivers are encouraged to check 5-1-1 and leave early to reach their destinations on time. The work will be rescheduled in the case of inclement weather.

ITD is widening I-84 to four lanes in both directions between Cole/Overland and Broadway. The project is scheduled for completion in summer 2011.
