Final weekend of I-84 paving scheduled July 7-10 with lane restrictions in Canyon County
BOISE –The Idaho Transportation Department reminds drivers to plan ahead for a final weekend of lane restrictions July 7-10 for paving on Interstate 84 between Nampa and Caldwell.
I-84 will be reduced to one lane in each direction from 7 p.m. Friday (July 7) to 5 a.m. Monday (July 10) between the Franklin Road Interchange in Caldwell and the Franklin Boulevard Interchange in Nampa. Both directions of traffic will use the eastbound side of I-84 while crews place the top layer of new pavement on the westbound lanes.
The Karcher westbound on-ramp in Nampa and Franklin Road westbound off-ramp in Caldwell will be closed for the weekend. Click here for a map of the work zone.
ITD accelerated paving I-84 in Canyon County after harsh winter weather caused the pavement to deteriorate more quickly. The department scheduled the majority of construction over four weekends to keep I-84 open during the weekday commute.
“With only one weekend to go, we would like to thank everyone who planned ahead or chose not to travel on I-84 during the first three weekend paving operations,” said ITD District 3 Engineer Amy Revis. “The weekend-only approach to construction was a new approach for ITD. Thanks to exceptional management, sound planning, a great contractor and an informed public, construction has gone very smoothly.”
