CALDWELL, Idaho — A portion of 10th Avenue in Caldwell closed under I-84 on Monday, Dec. 15, to allow crews to begin demolition of the 10th Avenue interchange bridge, according to the Idaho Transportation Department.
Access to nearby businesses will remain open, though the route may change during construction. ITD expects 10th Avenue to reopen by Christmas.
The closure is part of ongoing work at the I-84 and 10th Avenue interchange. Overnight single-lane closures continue to affect both eastbound and westbound I-84 between the 10th Avenue and Franklin Road interchanges as crews stripe new lanes and shift eastbound traffic toward the center of the freeway.
ITD says both the Franklin Road and 10th Avenue off-ramps will be closed overnight from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. to give crews space to demolish the final side of the bridge. During those closures, eastbound drivers heading into Caldwell are directed to exit I-84 at Centennial Way.
