BOISE – Starting Friday, the Idaho Transportation Department will begin one week of nighttime closures on eastbound Interstate 84 near Gowen Road. The closures are part of a repair project to fix bumps in the roadway caused by settling and rutting at the beginning and end of the bridge.
During the closures, eastbound drivers will be detoured off I-84 at the Gowen Road off-ramp and directed back onto the interstate via the on-ramp. The detour will remain within the same interchange, and only minor delays are expected.
The project involves reconstructing approximately 250 feet of the two-lane eastbound approach before the Gowen Bridge, as well as 50 feet beyond it.
Full eastbound closures are scheduled during the following hours, weather permitting:
- Monday through Friday: 7 p.m. to 4 a.m.
- Saturday and Sunday: 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.
Drivers are encouraged to plan ahead and allow extra time when traveling through the area. For the latest construction updates and detour information, visit 511.idaho.gov or use the Idaho 511 app.
