I-84 will be reduced to two lanes at Meridian Interchange by Wednesday morning’s commute (Sept. 16)
BOISE – Lane restrictions on Interstate 84 at Meridian Road are expected to result in longer commute times beginning Wednesday morning (Sept. 16). I-84 will be reduced to two lanes in both directions at the Meridian Interchange until early November.
From Tuesday night through the end of the week, crews will shift lanes, move guardrail and stripe this stretch of I-84 as the new traffic pattern is put in place.
All drivers who use I-84 in the Treasure Valley should plan ahead and prepare for significant delays through November.
By late next week, lanes will be reduced on east- and westbound I-84 between the Eagle and Ten Mile interchanges.
Restricting lanes on I-84 is necessary to give crews room to build the outside two lanes and shoulder in both directions at the Meridian Interchange. Merging conditions will be continually adjusted at the I-84 Meridian Interchange as crews rebuild the interstate.
By late November, construction at the I-84 Meridian Interchange will be finished and I-84 will reopen to four lanes. These improvements are the final step of completing interstate construction in the Treasure Valley.
