Ustick Road Overpass

ITD is replacing the Ustick Road Overpass and Notus Canal bridge.

Replacing the overpass will allow additional lanes to be built on I-84. Construction on the overpass began in May 2021 and expected to be completed by Summer 2023. The overpass is part of ITD's improvements to I-84 in Caldwell.

Reemplazando el paso elevado permitirá que se construyan carriles adicionales en la I-84. La construcción del paso elevado comenzó en mayo de 2021 y se espera que esté terminado en la primavera de 2023. El paso elevado es parte de las mejoras de ITD a la I-84 en Caldwell.

New Detour Route

The Idaho Transportation Department began work on the Notus Canal Bridge on Ustick Road in mid-September. A new detour route is in place to access local businesses.

What to expect: 

  • The bridge will be closed and a detour will be in place.
  • Business access will remain open during normal business hours.
  • Work may be noisy at night.
  • Construction work may cause dust and debris.

All work is expected to be complete in Summer of 2023.

Improvements

In addition to making room for additional lanes on I-84, the new Ustick Road Overpass will include:

        • Five lanes across the bridge, two lanes in each direction with a center turn lane. *
        • A new bridge over the Notus Canal.
        • Sidewalks and bicycle lanes on both sides of the bridge.

* ITD will build the Ustick Overpass wide enough to accommodate five lanes, but will not open the bridge up to five lanes until the City of Caldwell widens Ustick Road on either side of the bridge. Click here for detailed plans.

Why isn’t ITD adding a new interchange to I-84 to Nampa and Caldwell?
Why isn’t ITD adding a new interchange to I-84 to Nampa and Caldwell?

ITD conducted a detailed traffic analysis of I-84 in 2018. ITD analyzed whether or not a new interchange would be needed along I-84 between Nampa and Caldwell. The analysis concluded widening I-84 and improving existing interchanges at Karcher/Midland (in Nampa) and Franklin Road (in Caldwell) will serve the needs of traffic beyond the design year 2045.

Why did the Idaho Transportation Department close the Ustick Road and Aviation Way intersection?

ITD closed the intersection of Ustick Road and Aviation Way to raise the elevation of the intersection to match the height of the new Ustick Road Overpass. The Ustick Road Overpass will be higher to increase the vertical clearance on I-84.
