Downtown Eagle Mobility Improvements: Eagle Road and State Street
The Eagle Road and State Street intersection is the gateway to the City of Eagle and an important part of the downtown core. As a gateway, it serves vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians of all ages who want to access local businesses, neighborhoods, the elementary school, and the senior center.
The Ada County Highway District (ACHD), working with the City of Eagle, is currently designing improvements to Eagle Road and State Street and the connecting roadway network which includes Olde Park Place, Plaza Drive and Aikens Street.
Goals
The goal of the street network improvements is to improve safety and mobility for all users while accommodating future traffic growth and creating a welcoming downtown environment.
*Phase 1 of the project is expected to be complete by Fall 2024

State (Old State) & 2nd Intersection Closure - Detour Map
Share State (Old State) & 2nd Intersection Closure - Detour Map on Facebook Share State (Old State) & 2nd Intersection Closure - Detour Map on Twitter Share State (Old State) & 2nd Intersection Closure - Detour Map on Linkedin Email State (Old State) & 2nd Intersection Closure - Detour Map linkBeginning Wednesday, the intersection of State Street (Old State) and 2nd Street in Eagle will be fully closed to vehicle traffic.
Currently, the road is open to eastbound traffic, with 2nd Street being closed just north of the intersection. Closing the intersection of State and 2nd Streets will allow the contractor to keep on schedule, as well as increase safety for vehicles and pedestrians in the area.
Commuters should use Eagle Road and Plaza Drive to get around the closure. Only local traffic will be allowed on State Street between Eagle Road and Plaza Drive. (see updated detour map)
The intersection is scheduled to reopen at the end of October.
The roadwork is part of ACHD's Downtown Eagle Mobility Improvement Project. Phase one of the project is expected to be complete this fall, with phase two starting after phase one is completed. The goal of the street network improvements is to improve safety and mobility for all users while accommodating future traffic growth and creating a welcoming downtown environment.
Underground utility work is also being done in tandem with ACHD’s project in an effort to minimize the impact to businesses and residents.
During the roadwork, access will be maintained to all businesses in downtown Eagle, and businesses are ready and eager to serve their customers.

History
The design was the outcome of the Eagle Road and States Street Concept Design, an effort that began in 2012. After working with the community and the City of Eagle to evaluate multiple alternatives, the ACHD Commission approved the City's request to design and construct the Quadrant Alternative. This alternative best balances the need to safely accommodate the expected traffic growth, minimize impacts to adjacent properties and parking, and make downtown Eagle more walkable and bikeable, as well as being respectful of downtown's history and small town feel.
