Summary
Idaho’s I-84 is set for a $300M overhaul to slash commute times before 2055, when traffic could double without intervention. Options like auxiliary lanes and ramp metering help eastbound but not westbound—so the plan focuses on five lanes plus auxiliaries in the busiest stretch, with four lanes elsewhere. Construction could start mid-2030s, pending funding, and the department’s already spent $20M on design, with future plans to extend upgrades all the way to Mountain Home.
