The Idaho Transportation Department will begin the first of two ramp closures on Monday along Interstate 84. These closures are necessary in order to safely pave the ramps.
To minimize traffic impacts, ITD will conduct nighttime paving on both ramps. Each closure will begin at 8 p.m. and will reopen to traffic the following day by 5:30 a.m. Traffic control will be in place prior to any closures. The scheduled ramp closures, which are weather dependent, are as follows:
- July 15: I-84 Eagle Road eastbound off-ramp
- July 16: I-84 Eagle Road westbound off-ramp
“While a standard pothole patch might last a few months to a year, the repairs we achieve with these overnight closures will last multiple years. This not only minimizes the need for constant maintenance but also significantly reduces the disruption for drivers,” Field Operations Manager Eric Copeland said.
Drivers are encouraged to use the Idaho 511 system by phone, online, or through the app for updated closure information.
