Interstate 84, Blacks Creek Interchange Ramps Closed Beginning Thursday June 17

BOISE - Crews will close the Interstate 84 entrance and exit ramps at the Blacks Creek Road Interchange (Exit 64) beginning Thursday June 17 to apply chip seal. Eastbound traffic will be detoured to the Mayfield Interchange (Exit 71) and westbound traffic will be diverted to the Eisenman interchange (Exit 59).

'Crews are working hard through the remainder of the week to complete work on the Blacks Creek Road Interchange' said ITD Project Manager Patrick Kelly. 'Their goal is to get the ramps back open as soon as possible.'

Throughout June, crews have been sealcoating the travel lanes of I-84 between the Broadway and Eisenman Interchanges, as well as the ramps at Broadway, Gowen, Eisenman, and Blacks Creek. Work began June 1st and is anticipated to be complete in late June.

The chip sealing process involves spraying a sticky slurry on the road, placing rock chips on it, and compressing them in place. This creates a seal that protects the pavement from water intrusion and weathering in order to extend the service life of the pavement.
