Nighttime I-84 closures expected through mid-April at the South Jerome Interchange (Exit 168)

JEROME - The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) will have intermittent nighttime closures on Interstate 84 under the South Jerome Interchange (Exit 168) through mid-April. The closures will allow crews to form and place bridge abutments, which will provide support for the new Lincoln Avenue bridges. Closures are expected to begin next week, and will take place from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. Click hereto view detour maps.

Starting next week, eastbound I-84 is expected to close under Lincoln Avenue multiple nights. Eastbound I-84 traffic will use the eastbound ramps to detour around the closure. Eastbound closures are expected to occur at nighttime on:

• Wednesday, April 2
• Thursday, April 3
• Wednesday, April 9

The following week, westbound I-84 is expected to close under Lincoln Avenue multiple nights. Westbound I-84 traffic will use the westbound ramps to detour around the closure. Westbound closures are expected to occur the nights of:

• Sunday, April 6
• Monday, April 7
• Tuesday, April 8

"ITD encourages motorists to plan ahead for delays and drive with caution when traveling over these next couple of weeks in April," said ITD Resident Engineer Seth Helms, "We want to thank everyone for their patience as crews work to place the bridge abutments as quickly and safely as possible."

During the I-84 closures, motorists can expect:

• Business access will remain open on local roads and detours will be in place.
• Lincoln Avenue may be impacted over I-84 during these closures. Motorists are encouraged to use other routes.
• Work is weather-dependent and may be impacted by conditions. Any schedule changes will be announced through email and reflected on Idaho 511

This work is part of ITD's I-84 South Jerome Interchange (Exit 168) replacement project. Motorists can continue to expect intermittent I-84 and local road closures, traffic shifts and ramp changes throughout the duration of the project. Construction is anticipated to be completed in 2026.
