The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) will design and construct a new interchange to access I-84 at Ten Mile Road in Meridian. The I-84 Ten Mile Interchange Project is being developed to relieve congestion at the exisiting I-84 Meridian Road Interchange and provide local access to the growing area west of Meridian Road.

Current Status

The project has received environmental approval from the Federal Highway Administration. Final design is underway. The project is fully funded for construction. The transportation department expects to advertise for bids next spring, begin construction in early Summer 2009 and complete construction by Summer 2011.

Those wishing to view several graphic renderings of the future interchange can do so by following the links on this Web page. Go to meetings/hearings_December 2007 hearing_Proposed Action.

The transportation department hopes to convene the Ten Mile Interchange Project Advisory Group in the fall to share information about final design details. If you are not currently a member of the Project Advisory Group, but would like to be notified about future meetings, please contact us.

Background

In 2001, the Community Planning Association of Southwest Idaho (COMPASS) and ITD conducted a study of the I-84 corridor. The I-84 Corridor Study recommended several transportation improvements along the corridor, including increasing interstate access between Caldwell and Meridian. The study identified Ten Mile Road as a future access point for an interchange. The proposed Ten Mile Interchange will relieve traffic pressure at the Meridian Road Interchange and reduce future congestion in the growing western area of Ada County.

Before beginning the current project, consultant H.W. Lochner prepared the I-84/Ten Mile Access Study for the proposed interchange. The access study contained an environmental scan and implementation report, which were necessary to receive federal approval to proceed with the project.

Schedule and Funding

The Ten Mile Interchange project is currently funded through the GARVEE Transportation Program. This funding is designated for the interchange design, right-of-way purchases, and construction.

Public Involvement

ITD is committed to providing the community with ongoing and meaningful opportunities to give input and participate in the decision-making process for this project. Public meetings were held in August 2006 and June 2007 to gather input. In addition, interested community members were invited to join a public advisory group for the project. A hearing was held in December 2007 to gather formal testimony on the Environmental Assessment.
