Downtown Eagle Mobility Improvements: Eagle Road and State Street

Closure on Eagle Road Beginning Next Week

EAGLE — Commuters should be prepared for a closure starting next week for ACHD’s Downtown Eagle Mobility Project.

Beginning Monday, Eagle Road will be closed between Aikens Road and the intersection of Plaza Drive. For the first two weeks, this will include a partial closure of the intersection of Eagle and Plaza.

The partial intersection closure will provide a safer working environment for crewmembers. While the intersection is partially closed, crews will be in 24-hour operations in order to complete the necessary work as quickly as possible.

During the partial intersection closure, commuters heading northbound will be able to turn right onto Plaza Drive to get around the closure. Traffic will not be able to turn left onto Plaza. There will also be no access onto Eagle Road from either side of Plaza Drive.

The entrance to Zamzows and Walgreens will be accessible on Eagle Road. The median has been removed to allow left turns for business access. (see detour map)

Commuters heading southbound should use State Street (“Old State”) to either Ballantyne Lane or Edgewood Drive to Highway 44.

The intersection at Plaza and Eagle is expected to reopen in about two weeks, weather dependent. The closure on Eagle Road between Aikens and Plaza is expected to last for one month. An updated map will be shared when the intersection is back open.

Phase one of ACHD’s Downtown Eagle Mobility Improvements 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 support their customers.
