Project Facts

Key Number: 8950
Project Number: IM-184-1(026)3

A project to rehabilitate the Curtis Road Overpass Bridge at Interstate 184 (the Connector) was completed in winter 2006. The project repaired badly deteriorated pavement, extended the life of the structure and provided a smoother ride for motorists. Record Steel and Construction, Inc. of Meridian was the contractor on this $862,000 project.

Project Background

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. The Overpass structure carries traffic north across the Boise River via Veteran's Memorial Parkway, as well as south to medical facilities, schools and businesses. A series of public workshops held in October 2004 provided input that helped determine how to minimize traffic impacts, maintain access to businesses and set crews´ work hours during construction.

Project Description

Public involvement efforts included workshops to provide information and hear stakeholder concerns regarding the project. A project brochure advertising these meetings was delivered in the immediate area and over 400 trucking firms with Boise zip codes were identified and contacted for input.

Rehabilitating the Bridge

Key elements to rehabilitating the bridge structure included:

Removing the existing bridge deck and replacing it with a new concrete overlay
Replacing expansion joints between sections of the bridge surface
Repairing supporting columns, pier caps and girders
