I-84, Vista Avenue Interchange

   
I-84, Vista Avenue Interchange
  

Project Facts

   
Project Number A009(818)
Key Number: 09818


The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) will develop an interchange to replace the Vista Avenue Interchange on Interstate 84. The current interchange is a major access point to I-84 from Boise, and it needs to be reconstructed in order to safely accommodate future traffic volumes.
    

Description

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

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 buildout 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.
    

Schedule and Funding

   
Final design of the Vista Avenue Interchange began in January 2008 and is anticipated to be completed in Summer 2009. Future funding will be required to accomplish right-of-way acquisitions and construction.
