MERIDIAN – The Idaho Transportation Department will close alternating eastbound and westbound ramps at the Interstate 84 Meridian Interchange (Exit 44) overnight from Saturday to Friday as crews apply a hot chip seal to extend the life of the pavement. Through traffic will not be affected.
Ramp closures are scheduled as follows:
- Saturday and Sunday: Midnight to 5 a.m.
- Monday through Friday: 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.
During these hours, Northbound ramps will be closed Saturday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, while Southbound ramps will be closed Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
ITD is committed to minimizing disruptions during construction while prioritizing the safety of both motorists and crews. Chip seal oil is extremely hot. Drivers are urged to use extra caution in the work zone, stay clear of paving equipment, and follow all posted signs and flaggers’ directions.
