Starting Monday, the Idaho Transportation Department will be working along Eagle Road between Chinden Boulevard and Ustick Road to work on underground utilities for the installation of variable speed limit signs.
Motorists can expect lane closures from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. until Dec. 10. Pedestrian traffic will be detoured to alternate routes along Eagle Road, Chinden Boulevard, and McMillian Road for daytime sidewalk and shoulder closures.
This work is part of the on-going effort to improve safety on Eagle Road. These variable speed limit signs will provide speed feedback for drivers and reduce speed limits during peak traffic times. The signs are expected to be operational within the next few months.
