Description

   
The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) will design improvements to widen 3.2 miles of eastbound and westbound Interstate 84 for a future third and fourth lane in each direction between Cole Road and Broadway Avenue. The improvements will allow the roadway to safely accommodate traffic and prolong the life of the road surface.
    

Background

   
This project is a result of an Environmental Assessment and a planning study for I-84 from just west of the Orchard Interchange to the Isaacs Canyon Interchange (Eisenman Road). The interstate, built in the late 1960s, was not designed to handle the current traffic volumes. This corridor is experiencing periods of congestion, which will reach critical levels within the next decade.

The study recommends improvements for the ultimate build out of this corridor, including replacing the existing pavement, adding lanes to the interstate from Cole Road to Gowen Road, and reconstructing the Orchard, Vista, Broadway, and Gowen interchanges to meet the future traffic capacity requirements.

ITD received environmental approval for this project from the Federal Highway Administration in November 2007. For more information about the Environmental Assessment, click here.
    

Schedule and Funding

   
Final design for the additional lanes was completed in February 2009. Right-of-way purchases are not required for this project. Construction is anticipated to begin in October 2009 and to be completed in summer 2011.
