Broadway Avenue
ITD has repaved Broadway Avenue between the Federal Way ramps and Front Street. Crews are completing final clean-up activities, raising manholes to match the new pavement, and striping the road.
- Work hours on Broadway are from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. On Sundays, work will begin at 7 p.m.
- Flaggers may direct traffic and pedestrians around the areas where crews are working
- This project included substantial repairs at the intersection of Broadway Avenue and Boise Avenue. This area was damaged by a water main failure in December.
- A concrete “bulb-out” has been added at Rossi Street to keep through traffic in the correct lane.
- To reduce the risk of future pavement damage from watering, the City of Boise and ITD have decided to replace grassy areas in the median with rock. Existing trees will remain.
