Detours planned on I-84 at Exit 208 while crews remove old highway bridge

BURLEY - Temporary detours will be in place this week while crews remove the old State Highway 27 bridge over Interstate 84 near Burley.

Starting tomorrow, I-84 eastbound traffic will be rerouted onto the temporary roadway in the median from milepost 206 to Exit 208. The west and east sides of the SH-27 bridge will be removed during two nighttime closures.

• The I-84 westbound lanes will be closed from 6 p.m. on July 31 until 7 a.m. Aug. 1 for the removal of the existing SH-27 structure crossing over the I-84 westbound Lanes. Drivers traveling westbound will be detoured onto SH-27 at Exit 208 and State Highway 25 to the Exit 201 on-ramp to return to I-84 westbound.

• The I-84 eastbound lanes will be closed from 6 p.m. on Aug 1 until 7 a.m. on Aug 2 for the removal of the existing SH-27 structure crossing over the I-84 eastbound lanes. Drivers traveling eastbound will be detoured onto SH-27 at Exit 208 and US Highway 30 to the Exit 211 on-ramp to return to I-84 eastbound.

Detour signage will guide motorists through the project area. Detour dates, routes, and times may be impacted by weather or other unforeseen factors. Please watch for crews, use caution, and drive safely.

Construction has been underway since 2024 to update the Heyburn and Burley Interchanges to meet growing traffic demands and is anticipated to be complete in 2026. The project is funded as part of Governor Little's Leading Idaho transportation funding initiative. The Leading Idaho initiative allows ITD to take a deliberate approach to advance large projects that will enhance safety, improve mobility, further strengthen Idaho's economy, and positively impact the Magic Valley and communities across the state for years to come.
