📢 Sharing for Public Information:
We know this intersection has been a frequent source of questions and calls from our community, so we wanted to share the latest information released by the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD).

This is a joint project between ITD and the City of Nampa. Nampa Highway District No. 1 is not involved in the project, but we’re sharing ITD’s update to help keep our community informed.

Please see ITD’s original post below for more information and updates.

We understand the community’s frustration with the unfinished work at Locust Lane and SH-45.

ITD’s project has been temporarily halted for contractual reasons that we are addressing as we attempt to complete the work as quickly as possible. ITD must hire a new contractor but must do so following the mandatory bonding process, which ensures that Idaho taxpayers do not pay twice for the same work.

ITD is preparing a temporary solution that will enhance mobility of the roadway until a new contractor is hired and the project can be completed. We know the delay is disruptive, and we are sorry for the disruption. We will provide additional information as the path forward and schedule are confirmed.

Over 40 miles of roadway have been chip sealed, and we're now moving into the final phase of the project—fog sealing.

Beginning Monday, July 20, crews will start applying the fog seal to all roads that were chip sealed.
Monday's Schedule: 7/20
📍 Southside Blvd. & Deer Flat Rd. Roundabout – Closed first thing in the morning for several hours while crews apply the fog seal and install pavement markings.
Once that roundabout is complete and reopened to traffic, crews will move to the:
📍 Robinson Blvd. & Locust Ln. Roundabout – This roundabout will also be closed for several hours while fog seal and pavement markings are completed.
Tuesday's Schedule: 7/21
📍 Robinson Blvd. & Airport Rd. Roundabout – Closed first thing in the morning for several hours while crews complete the fog seal and pavement markings.
After the roundabouts are finished, crews will continue applying fog seal to the remaining roads included in this year's chip seal project, working their way through the schedule.
Please plan ahead, follow posted detours, and watch for crews working in the area. Thank you for your patience as we complete the final stage of this year's chip seal project!
