Curtis Road Interchange bridge scheduled to open this week
BOISE - Work on a project to rehabilitate the Curtis Road Interstate 184 Overpass bridge is nearing completion, the Idaho Transportation Department announced. The bridge is expected to fully reopen to traffic on Thursday, Nov. 9.
The project, which started in August, repaired badly deteriorated pavement to extend the life of the structure and provide a smoother ride for motorists.
"We greatly appreciate the patience and cooperation of the public," said Kadee Porter, a transportation department project manager.
The Curtis Road bridge, built in 1969, carries more than 23,000 vehicles a day, including a high percentage of trucks. By 2008, average daily traffic is projected to exceed 33,700.
Record Steel and Construction Inc. of Meridian is the contractor on this $862,000 project.
