ITD has replaced the Ustick Road Overpass and Notus Canal Bridge.
Replacing the overpass allowed for additional lanes to be built on I-84 and was part of ITD's improvements to the I-84 corridor in Caldwell. Construction on the overpass began in May 2021 and was complete by summer of 2023. El reemplazo del paso elevado permitió que se construyeran carriles adicionales en la I-84 y el paso elevado es parte de las mejoras de ITD al corredor I-84 en Caldwell. La construcción del paso elevado comenzó en mayo de 2021 y se completó en el verano de 2023.
ITD has completed the final cleanup activities and has worked with the city of Caldwell to coordinate the opening of the overpass. The city had several projects underway throughout the summer near Ustick Road and determined it was best to keep Ustick Road overpass closed. Work in the area to open the overpass was completed mid-August and is now open for the public to use.

In addition to making room for additional lanes on I-84, the new Ustick Road Overpass will include:
* 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.
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.
The overpass must be replaced to make room for current widening I-84 between Caldwell and Nampa.
Improvements include:
The Ustick Road Overpass is expected to re-open in late Summer 2023.
Traffic will be detoured from Middleton Road to Nampa-Caldwell Boulevard. Click here for a detour map.
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.
ITD has worked closely with emergency responders in the area to ensure they have adequate access routes in the event emergency services are needed.
