Indiana Avenue will be closed at Karcher Road for two weeks starting Friday (March 18)
BOISE – Indiana Avenue will be closed in both directions just south of Karcher Road beginning Friday, Mar. 18. The closure will be in place 24/7 for two weeks as crews work on irrigation and utilities near the intersection of Karcher Road and Indiana Avenue. Utility work is necessary to prepare for improvements that will be constructed at the intersection this summer.
The closure on Indiana Avenue will extend from Karcher Road to just south of the bridge over the Deer Flat Canal. Traffic will be detoured to Orchard Avenue via Florida Avenue and Montana Avenue. Click here for a map of the detour route.
The work zone speed limit will be 45 mph on Karcher Road and 30 mph on Indiana Avenue.
The schedule for this work is weather-dependent.
Work will begin in June to improve the intersection of Karcher Road and Indiana Avenue. A signal will be installed, and the intersection will be widened. Construction is expected to be complete late this summer
The project will enhance safety and traffic flow and is one of several intersection improvements being constructed on Idaho 55 in Canyon County through 2017.
