SH-69 nighttime lane reductions begin early July for pavement work

MERIDIAN - Motorists can expect nighttime lane reductions on State Highway 69 from Kuna to Interstate 84 this summer while the Idaho Transportation Department applies a hot chip seal to the roadway. The project will extend the life of the pavement.

Construction will begin near Kuna tonight and move north toward I-84. All pavement work is expected to be complete by late summer.

Motorists can expect:

  • All work to take place overnight.
  • At least one lane will remain open in each direction at all times on SH-69.
  • Shifting traffic patterns and flaggers in the roadway.
  • Reduced speed limits to 35 mph.
  • Intermittent ramp closures and detours at the Meridian Interchange. Roadside message boards will provide drivers with advance notice.
  • Access to residences and businesses will remain open.

ITD is committed to minimizing disruption during construction while prioritizing the safety of both crews and motorists. Chip seal oil is extremely hot. Drivers are urged to use extra caution when traveling through active work zones, keep their distance from paving equipment and follow instructions from signs and flaggers.

For real-time traffic impacts drivers are encouraged to use the Idaho 511 system to plan ahead for travel.
