East- and westbound I-84 will have overnight closures between Orchard and Broadway early next week
BOISE – East- and westbound I-84 between the Orchard and Broadway interchanges will be closed at night early next week while new sign structures and directional signs are installed.
• Monday (March 12): Eastbound I-84 between the Orchard and Vista interchanges will be closed from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. Motorists will be directed to exit at the Orchard Interchange and can re-enter eastbound I-84 at the Vista Interchange.
• Tuesday (March 13): Westbound I-84 between the Broadway and Vista interchanges will be closed from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. Motorists will be directed to exit at the Broadway Interchange and can re-enter westbound I-84 at the Vista Interchange.
Monday night's detour map is available here, and Tuesday night's here.
The overhead sign installation, originally planned for late February but postponed due to a manufacturer's issue, is the final step in the project to widen I-84 to four lanes between Cole/Overland and Broadway.
Lane closures will be required on Wednesday night (March 14) from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. to complete the installation of the overhead signs. At least one lane in each direction will remain open.
The speed limit will be lowered to 55 mph during these closures.
The schedule is weather-dependent. Travelers are encouraged to check 511.idaho.gov or dial 5-1-1 for updated information.
