South Broadway Avenue and Cesar Chavez Lane will open Friday morning in Boise
BOISE –Friday morning (Aug. 19) Broadway Avenue from Cesar Chavez Lane to University Drive will be open. At this time, the Idaho Transportation Department will also open Cesar Chavez Lane. A new signal at University Drive and Broadway Avenue will begin operating
Over the past nine months, construction crews have been working on widening and repaving the roadway between Cesar Chavez Lane and University Drive and adding sidewalk, curb and gutter. In addition, a retaining wall was built on the Boise State side of the roadway.
Construction is on schedule to be complete in early fall.
The Broadway Bridge is being rebuilt because the former structure was approximately 60 years old and did not meet today’s standards. The project also includes making roadway improvements to Broadway Avenue from University Drive to Front Street and enhancing connectivity to the Greenbelt.
