I-84 traffic to be detoured in Mini-Cassia area early Thursday morning
DECLO – Early morning drivers should watch for a detour of Interstate 84 Thursday (March 23) as maintenance is performed on the Snake River bridge at milepost 215 near the Declo Interchange. All traffic will be routed on the two detour routes through Burley and Rupert during the early morning hours.
All traffic will be detoured using between the Heyburn Interchange (Exit 211) and the Declo Interchange (Exit 216) beginning at about 12 a.m. on Thursday. During the closure, the contractor for the Snake River bridge replacement project will replace damaged traffic control devices and perform roadway maintenance.
Westbound traffic will be detoured off I-84 at Exit 216, south to Declo on Idaho 77, west to Burley on Idaho 81 and return to I-84 through Heyburn. Eastbound traffic will leave I-84 at Exit 211, detour north on Idaho 24 to Rupert, then east and south on Idaho 25 to I-84.
The detour is expected to last no more than four hours.
Ralph L. Wadsworth Construction of Draper, Utah is the contractor for the $17.88 million project to replace the two I-84 bridges crossing the Snake River. The westbound bridge is expected to be open to traffic by mid-summer and will be followed by the demolition and construction of the eastbound bridge.
