The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) will intermittently close 10th Avenue under Interstate 84 in Caldwell beginning on Monday. These closures are necessary for crews to safely demolish the westbound lanes of the I-84 bridge. The intermittent closures will occur through September.
Motorists can expect:
- 10th Avenue will close during weekdays and may reopen on weekends.
- Traffic will detour to Centennial Way. Click here to see a detour map.
- Pedestrians will be detoured to the pedestrian overpass over I-84. Click here to see a detour map.
- Access to businesses will remain open, but routes may change during the closures.
- After 10th Avenue reopens, crews plan to restrict it to one lane in each direction until next year.
Crews will demolish the westbound side of the bridge section by section, which will take several weeks to complete. Closing 10th Avenue will give crews the space they need to bring multiple pieces of equipment in and out of the work zone safely.
“This closure will help us complete the bridge demo as quickly as possible while keeping the traveling public safe,” Resident Engineer Styles Salek said. “We will do everything we can to re-open 10th Avenue quickly, and we thank everyone for their patience in the meantime.”
This bridge demolition is part of ITD’s I-84 Centennial Way to Franklin Road project, which is widening the interstate to three lanes in each direction, replacing the 10th Avenue Interchange and adding a soundwall along Hannibal Street from 10th Avenue to Centennial Way. This project is expected to be completed in 2027.
