Eastbound I-84 ramps at Orchard will be flagged tonight (May 11)
BOISE - Flaggers will direct traffic at the Orchard Interchange eastbound on- and off-ramps between 10 p.m. tonight (Wednesday, May 11) and 5 a.m. Thursday (May 12). The Idaho Transportation Department is shifting traffic to temporary ramps during paving on I-84.
Drivers can expect up to 10-minute delays during flagging.
The temporary ramps will make room for construction crews to pave the new eastbound lanes on Interstate 84. All work is weather dependent.
Motorists can also expect intermittent overnight lane restrictions on I-84 throughout May. Restrictions will be from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.
ITD is adding four new lanes to I-84 and rebuilding the four existing lanes. When the project is complete in summer 2011, I-84 will be eight lanes wide from the Broadway on-ramps to Meridian.
