The I-84 widening project in Caldwell began in November 2023 and includes:

• Widening I-84 to three lanes in each direction with auxiliary lanes between interchanges.
• Replacing the 10th Avenue Interchange.
• Removing one westbound on-ramp at the 10th Avenue Interchange.
• Updating the pedestrian overpass.
• Building a sound wall along Hannibal Street.

• Adding a traffic signal at the westbound ramps at the Centennial Way Interchange.

Construction on I-84 in Caldwell is ahead of schedule and all lanes are expected to be in their final configuration by early 2027.
