Broadway Avenue will close between Myrtle and Front streets this weekend for paving; expect significant delays
BOISE – The Idaho Transportation Department will close Broadway Avenue between Myrtle and Front streets this weekend (Aug. 26-29). Paving work will begin on Friday at 10 p.m. and be complete by Monday at 6 a.m. This is the last roadway segment to be paved as part of the Broadway Bridge project.
During paving work, drivers can expect:
• Broadway Avenue will be closed between Myrtle and Front streets.
• Myrtle Street will be reduced to one lane between 2nd Street and the intersection.
• Front Street will be reduced to one lane in each direction at the intersection.
• View the detour map and traffic pattern for August 26-29.
• Signals will be turned off and flaggers will direct traffic day and night.
• Flaggers will direct Greenbelt users near Myrtle Street.
“ITD would like to remind everyone that the businesses in the project area are open. Businesses can be accessed using Myrtle and Front streets,” said ITD Project Coordinator Merrill Sharp. “Crews are working hard to complete the final construction activities of the project.”
These improvements are part of ITD’s Broadway Bridge Replacement Project, which encompasses rebuilding Broadway Avenue north and south of the Boise River.
