The Idaho Transportation Department will close a section of eastbound traffic on Interstate 84 between the Twin Falls Interchange (exit 173) and the Kimberly Interchange (exit 182) to continue reconstruction of the Vinyard Bridge. The closure will be between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. tomorrow night. Additional nighttime closures may be necessary later this week or early next week for crews to set bridge supports in place. Real time updates about closures will be available using 511.
For the official detour, eastbound drivers on I-84 will need to exit at the Twin Falls interchange and detour to State Highway 25 back to I-84. Those taking US-93 will not be able to access eastbound I-84 and will need to follow the detour. Westbound drivers will be unaffected by this closure.
Detour signs will be in place at the ramp closures, and drivers should plan for approximately 20 minutes of additional travel time.
The bridge was damaged last year by a truck that did not meet height restrictions and struck the bridge. Work is expected to be completed by mid-December. ITD is working through the process to recover costs related to the bridge.
