Project Background
The Blue Lakes Boulevard and Pole Line Road intersection serves as a gateway intersection into the City of Twin Falls for vehicles, both passenger vehicles and heavy freight, traveling from I-84 and across the Perrine Bridge just north of the intersection. Today, this intersection is one of the busiest in the area and experiences high levels of congestion. Conditions are anticipated to worsen as the area continues to grow.
Project Overview
The goal of the project is to identify improvements for the Blue Lakes Boulevard and Pole Line Road intersection and surrounding area that may be implemented in the short, medium, or long term. The improvements will aim to improve both safety and traffic congestion. This project will identify improvements through a tiered alternatives evaluation, as shown in the graphic below.
We will engage with partner agencies, stakeholders, business and property owners, and the public to better understand the needs and challenges within the study area and work collaboratively to identify improvements.
The project began in Fall 2025 and is anticipated to finish by the end of 2026.
