UPDATE: Franklin Boulevard-I-84 interchange lane closures begin this week in Nampa

Traffic Alert

Overnight restrictions will affect traffic at the Franklin Boulevard interchange in Nampa starting the week of Aug. 23 through September, according to the Idaho Transportation Department.

The lane and ramp restrictions on Interstate 84 between 11th Avenue and Franklin Boulevard will occur overnight, between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m., according to a Friday ITD news release.

Also, look for variable speed limits within construction zones. Digital speed limit signs will display when to reduce speed to 55 miles per hour. Remember that speeding tickets inside a construction zone are higher. Watch for flashing beacons to tell you when you must reduce your speed from 65 mph.

Closures will continue until late September as part of ongoing bridge maintenance work in Nampa.

The construction is part of a long-term ITD project to improve I-84 in Ada and Canyon counties.
