Traffic patterns shift in Burley with reopening of I-84 Exit 208 tomorrow

Paving along the Buelry Interchange

The new westbound off-ramp on Interstate 84 at Exit 208 will open to traffic tomorrow. Drivers will be able to utilize the off-ramp to access State Highway 27.

Changes to traffic patterns include:

  • Traffic on SH-27 will be reduced to one lane in each direction through October 2025. Drivers will be routed onto the newly constructed northbound lanes so crews can begin construction of the new southbound lanes and southbound structure over I-84.
  • I-84 westbound traffic will be shifted onto the new concrete pavement section at SH-27.

Signage is in place to guide motorists through the project area. Please watch for work crews and exercise caution while travelling through work zones.

Construction has been underway since 2024 to update the Heyburn and Burley Interchanges to meet growing traffic demands, and will be complete in 2026. The project is funded as part of Idaho Governor Little’s Leading Idaho transportation initiative. The Leading Idaho initiative allows ITD to take a deliberate approach to advance large projects that will enhance safety, improve mobility, further strengthen Idaho’s economy, and positively impact the Magic Valley and communities across the state for years to come.
