Motorists traveling on Interstate 84 near the Twin Falls Interchange should prepare for intermittent lane closures beginning Monday, July 20, as paving work gets underway at Exit 173.
The project will require periodic single and double lane closures on the interstate as crews conduct resurfacing operations. Drivers should expect frequent truck traffic entering and exiting the work zone throughout the duration of the effort.
Work is scheduled to continue through August, though completion may extend beyond that timeframe depending on weather conditions. Officials noted that “the work is weather-dependent and could be delayed by conditions,” meaning rain or other adverse weather could slow progress.
The westbound loop on-ramp at the Twin Falls Interchange will reopen once paving is complete.
Planning Your Route
Travelers can monitor real-time road conditions and plan alternate routes through 511.idaho.gov, which provides current information on lane closures, delays, and construction activity across Idaho highways.
The paving project is part of ongoing infrastructure maintenance in the Twin Falls area. The city is also managing street resurfacing work in the north-central portion of Twin Falls beginning late July, which may create additional traffic adjustments for local commuters.
Drivers are encouraged to allow extra travel time during the work window and to use caution when approaching the work zone, as heavy equipment and frequent lane changes will be present throughout the day.
