BOISE – The Idaho Transportation Department will close Gowen Road nightly beginning Friday as part of a bridge repair project on Interstate 84. These closures are needed to facilitate safe and efficient traffic flow while both eastbound lanes of I-84 are closed at the Gowen Interchange. This project will repair bumps in the roadway caused by settling and rutting at the beginning and end of the bridge.
Road closure schedule:
- Saturday and Sunday nights: 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.
- Monday through Friday nights: 7 p.m. to 5 a.m.
Detour routes:
From Gowen Road to I-84 (eastbound or westbound):
Turn right on Eisenman Road, proceed to the Eisenman Interchange, and use on-ramps to access I-84 in either direction.
From Gowen Road to SH-21 or Federal Way:
Turn right on Eisenman Road, proceed to the Eisenman Interchange, access I-84 westbound, exit at the Gowen Interchange, and follow signs to SH-21/Federal Way.
From SH-21/Federal Way to eastbound I-84 or Gowen Road:
Travel east on Federal Way to the Eisenman Interchange. From there, access I-84 westbound or turn west on Eisenman to return to Gowen.
These closures coincide with previously released nightly full closures of eastbound I-84 near the Gowen Interchange. During the closures, eastbound drivers will be detoured off I-84 at the Gowen Road off-ramp and directed back onto the interstate via the on-ramp. The detour will remain within the same interchange, and only minor delays are expected.
Drivers are encouraged to plan ahead, follow posted detour signs, and allow extra time when traveling through the area. For the latest updates and traffic conditions, visit 511.idaho.gov or use the Idaho 511 app.
