This project is part of a larger vision to improve traffic flow and safety along US-95 between Garwood and Sagle.
In the next three years, ITD will reconfigure several roadways near the current US-95 junctions with ID-53 and Garwood Road north of Hayden.
Construction will last until 2021, with the new bridge and ID-53 interchange finished first in fall 2020.

3D modelSome improvements to this area were first identified during the development of an environmental document to plan for the future traffic needs of the region, which were approved in 2010 after multiple open houses.
In 2017, an interim design was developed to realign and widen ID-53 between Ramsey Road and US-95. This design also included the replacement of the bridge over the railroad, the addition of a center turn lane and the extension of bike facilities from Ramsey Road to the trail east of US-95. Additional funding was secured through the GARVEE Program shortly after to design and construct this project.

The path now covers from just north of Garwood to Idaho Highway 54, where it connects with a trail to Farragut State Park.
After a break over winter, work has begun again this March. This season of work will complete the railroad bridge and new interchange before beginning the overpass at Garwood. View the updated construction overview for the second season.
