Starting next week, drivers should expect lane closures on Interstate 84 between Malta/Yale (Exit 228) and Idahome (Exit 237) as crews perform chip sealing to preserve and extend the life of the roadway. A short section of Interstate 86 near the interchange will also be included in the project.
Traffic will be reduced to a single lane in both directions during the two-week operation. On- and off-ramps within the work zone will also be chip sealed. While no ramps will be fully closed, half of each ramp will be closed at a time to allow traffic to continue flowing.
Speed limits will be reduced to 55 mph on the mainline and 35 mph on ramps during construction. Drivers are urged to allow extra time and avoid following other vehicles too closely to prevent windshield damage.
