ITD will present plans to replace Middleton and Ustick overpasses at July 24 open house in Caldwell
CALDWELL - The Idaho Transportation Department will host an open house on Wednesday, July 24 to present plans to replace the Middleton Road and Ustick Road overpasses on Interstate 84.
The open house will be 4 - 6:30 p.m. at the Canyon County Paramedics building (6116 Graye Ln., Caldwell). Attendees will have an opportunity to review design plans for both overpasses, construction phasing and detour routes.
Design work on the overpasses will be completed later this year and construction is expected to begin in the spring of 2020. The current bridges only have room for two lanes of I-84 in each direction. The new designs will allow for additional lanes.
“We have projected the current and future traffic demands on the Interstate in Canyon County,” said ITD Transportation Program Manager Amy Schroeder. “Constructing an additional lane in each direction will improve the safety and mobility in the corridor and serve the public for many years. We are advancing this project to construction as quickly as possible, and we will continue to keep the public informed and involved at every step.”
Over the next several years, ITD plans to invest more than $300 million into Interstate 84 in Canyon County. Construction is already underway to improve I-84 between Karcher Road and Franklin Boulevard (exits 33 and 36) in Nampa.
