The Idaho Transportation Department will shift eastbound Interstate 84 traffic and begin intermittent closures of 10th Avenue in Caldwell on Monday, Dec. 15 as crews demolish the final side of the 10th Avenue bridge.

On Sunday, Dec. 14, eastbound I-84 traffic will shift onto the newly paved lanes in the center of I-84 between the 10th Avenue and Franklin Road interchanges. This traffic shift will allow crews to safely demolish the eastbound side of the bridge.

WHAT TO EXPECT ON I-84:

  • Starting Tuesday, Dec. 9, there will be overnight single-lane closures from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. on eastbound and westbound I-84 so crews can stripe, set barriers and prepare to shift traffic.
  • On Sunday, Dec. 14, eastbound I-84 traffic will shift onto the newly paved lanes in the center of I-84 between the Centennial Way and Franklin Road interchanges.
  • The Franklin Road eastbound off-ramp and the 10th Avenue eastbound on- and off-ramps will close overnight Sunday, Dec. 14, from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.
  • Eastbound drivers heading into Caldwell must exit I-84 at Centennial Way (Exit 27). Drivers who miss the exit, will travel to the Karcher Interchange in Nampa to turn around. Click here to view a detour map.
  • I-84 will remain open, but drivers should plan for delays and allow extra time to travel through the area.

WHAT TO EXPECT ON 10TH AVENUE:

  • Starting Monday, Dec. 15, 10th Avenue will close intermittently under I-84 between the eastbound and westbound ramps. 10th Avenue will reopen prior to Christmas.
  • During closures, traffic will be detoured to Centennial Way. Click here to see a detour map.
  • Access to businesses will remain open, but routes may change during closures.
  • Shuttle buses will be available for pedestrians and bicyclists, with bus stops on either end of the closure. Click here to view a map of bus stop locations.

Crews demolished the westbound side of the bridge in 2024 and are now completing the final phase by demolishing the eastbound side. This work will take a couple weeks to complete.

This work is part of ITD’s I-84 Centennial Way to Franklin Road project, which will widen I-84, replace the 10th Avenue Interchange, improve walking and biking connections and add other improvements in Caldwell. The project is expected to be complete in 2027.
