The closure is necessary to allow crews to build temporary pavement on the Connector, which will be used to shift traffic during future work. After shopping, if you are heading to downtown, just plan a few more minutes for your return trip. Motorists also should consider any combination of streets such as Emerald, Milwaukee, Curtis, Franklin, Chinden, Americana and Fairview to access the Connector or get to downtown. During construction on the WYE, Ada County Highway District traffic engineers will monitor intersections in the area. The engineers will adjust traffic signals to help keep traffic flowing as smoothly as possible.
Representatives are available to answer questions or address concerns.
These meetings are held in the construction site office trailer on La Hontan Drive directly off of Maple Grove Road. The WYE Interchange will increase capacity and improve safety at the state's busiest interchange, which serves one of Idaho's largest retail areas. I started last February and is scheduled to be finished by Thanksgiving of 2000.
