The Idaho Transportation Department advises motorists to plan ahead for a full westbound Interstate 84 closure on Wednesday between the Garrity and Ten Mile interchanges. Crews will mobilize a large crane and other materials into the center median of I-84 to begin work on the piers for the new fly-over ramps and work on overhead sign structures. This work will begin the next stage of construction at the future I-84/State Highway 16 System Interchange.
What to expect Wednesday, May 7:
- Westbound I-84 will be closed between the Ten Mile (Exit 42) and Garrity (Exit 38) interchanges from 10 p.m. Wednesday to 5 a.m. Thursday. Traffic will exit at Ten Mile (Exit 42) and be detoured down Franklin Road to the Garrity Interchange (Exit 38). Click here for the detour map.
Ongoing nighttime lane restrictions on eastbound and westbound I-84 will take place for several weeks. Work will take place from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. each night between the Ten Mile and Garrity interchanges (Exits 42 and 38). At least two lanes will remain open overnight. For safety of crews, the speed limit will be reduced to 55 mph at night.
