I-84 Traffic Shift Near Twin Falls, Idaho, Completed Tonight; New Lanes to Open in Three-Lane Configuration
The Idaho Transportation Department announced that new lanes on Interstate 84 near the Twin Falls interchange (Exit 173) will open after a traffic shift is completed this weekend. Eastbound traffic was shifted between 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 13, and 6 a.m. the next morning, while westbound traffic will shift between 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 14, and 6 a.m. the next morning, during which the westbound loop ramp at the Twin Falls interchange will be closed and drivers must use another westbound ramp. Once the shift is complete, Interstate 84 will open in its final configuration: three lanes in each direction west of the interchange and two lanes in each direction east of it. This is part of the Interstate 84 widening project from Jerome to Twin Falls, launched in 2023, aimed at improving safety and capacity on the stretch.
The department cautioned that construction is weather-dependent and may be delayed, and that sporadic lane closures will continue until the project wraps up at the end of November. The Twin Falls interchange connects Interstate 84 with U.S. Highway 93 and is the main route into the city of Twin Falls via the Perrine Bridge. The department advised drivers to check real-time road conditions at 511.idaho.gov before traveling, plan alternate routes in advance, and avoid congestion during nighttime construction hours.
